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.

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".
