A copy of a written statement addressed to ‘Those Responsible for the Welfare of the Aboriginal People of Cherbourg Reserve’, in which a resident expresses dissatisfaction with the conduct of an Aboriginal Councillor on the Cherbourg Reserve, who is reported to have assaulted another member of the Reserve with his son. The statement is accompanied by a form letter signed by Denis Walker, who states that Davidson is concerned her statement will result in discriminatory retaliation against her by the administrations of the Aboriginal and Islander Affairs Act of 1965. The statement also contains a list of fifteen individuals who have been identified as being responsible for the welfare of Aboriginal residents of the Cherbourg Reserve, consisting of politicians as well as high-ranking figures in philanthropic and advocacy organisations.
