Sam Kerr

[DJC]

Indian, but didn't her brother make one of the Indigenous All Stars lists?

Not an official team LP.  Bonehead Sheedy was proposing a bye round match between an Indigenous all-star team and "the rest" and he named Daniel Kerr as one of the Indigenous all-stars.  Sheedy apologised when it was pointed out that Kerr had Indian heritage and Kerr laughed it off.

The Kerr family has always acknowledged and been proud of their Indian heritage.  I'm not sure where Sam identifying as Indigenous is coming from, perhaps because the Matildas once posed with the Aboriginal flag.  At the time. Kerr said, "We let the Indigenous girls [Kyah Simon and Lydia Williams] drive it."

There are quite a few bogus websites claiming that Kerr is Indigenous.  For example, "Sam was born in the west coastal areas of Australia, where the majority of people are aboriginal. Sam Kerr belongs to Aboriginal Ethnicity so she is Indigenous."
