Then we set up a land council: Robyn Williams

Auntie Robyn Williams tells how, in trying to get a group going for Aboriginal people at her TAFE she began a women’s group. This led to the establishment of the Gandangara land council in 1985. She then goes on to describe the changes in the Land Rights Act and the land councils and the effect it has had.

PLEASE NOTE

All the video recordings on this website were made at least a decade ago. Some are fifteen years old.

What the speakers say on camera was based on their own knowledge and researches at the time each video was made. Since then a great deal of information has come to hand which may make some of the information first recorded now outdated. Therefore please regard this website as a period piece presenting knowledge held and believed at the time of recording.
