The Tasmanian RSL has said it does not want the Indigenous group Frontier Wars to participate in future Anzac Day marches after it was allowed to take part in Thursday's march in Hobart.
The group initially planned to gatecrash this year's Anzac Day march in the city, but was granted permission to take part at the eleventh hour.
The group's name, Frontier Wars, refers to conflicts between Indigenous Australians and white settlers.
The acting president of RSL Tasmania, Geoff Leitch, said the Frontier Wars were not part of the Anzac Day tradition that specifically honoured those who have served in conflicts since Australia's federation.
"The Anzac tradition is to commemorate servicemen that served from the Boer War basically through to today," he said.
Aunty Wendal Pitchford — who led the Frontier Wars contingent — said the group should lead next year's Anzac Day march.
"The whole experience of being in the march itself this year was just amazing — just absolutely amazing," she said.
"Let's celebrate with Anzac and remember everyone that fought for this country," she said.
The RSL said it would work with Indigenous communities on how they could be better represented on Anzac Day.
"We will work with the Indigenous community and make sure they have a proper representation there and not necessarily someone that wants to put a political point across," Mr Leitch said.
The RSL wants colonial conflicts involving Indigenous Australians to be formally recognised as part of NAIDOC week instead.
Veteran Phil Pyke said the RSL needs to develop a national approach to better recognise Indigenous people on Anzac Day.
He said the Frontier Wars group had started an important conversation.
"Now is the time to recognise probably right across the state — how do we encourage Indigenous representatives to be present on Anzac Day?" he said.
