Letter from New South Wales secretary for the FCAATSI

Covering letter, addressed to 'Dear Sir' from Faith Bandler, New South Wales Secretary, Federal Council for the Advancement of Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders. The letter is about the claim of the Aboriginal people of the Gurindji community being permitted to occupy their lands in the Wave Hill and Limbunya regions of the Northern Territory. Also mentions Wattie Creek. The letter refers to an attached letter to the federal government but this letter is not present. The letter is typescript, with a handwritten note in pen to 'Ted' (possibly Ted Edgan) from 'F.H.' (possibly Frank Hardy).

Bandler, Faith

An appeal to world opinion

Bifold circular letter, black type on green paper, addressed to U Thant, Secretary-General of the United Nations, from the Northern Territory Council for Aboriginal Rights. It addresses the issue of lesser citizenship for the "Aborigines of the Northern Territory" as enshrined in the Australian Constitution, and the effects of this treatment on the Aboriginal people. The appeal is made "under the clause of the United Nations Charter which says no people should be discriminated against because of their race or colour". Signed by Davis Daniels, Secretary. A paragraph on the back page states: "Authorised by Mrs. K. Walker, Queensland Secretary, Federal Council for Advancement of Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders (FCCA), and Secretary, Queensland Council for the Advancement of Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders".
