Letter to Barrie Dexter refuting allegations about the Aboriginal and Islanders Tribal Council

A copy of a letter addressed to Barrie Dexter, Director for the Office of Aboriginal Affairs. This letter accompanies documents requested by Dexter to disprove allegations of misconduct and misappropriation within the Council. The author provides a summary of the Full Council Meeting in which eight members were expelled for 'traitorous' conduct, and emphasies that the allegations sent by them to Dexter are unsubstantiated. The author then requests to work with an officer from the Office of Aboriginal Affairs the ways in which the Tribal Council can continue providing services to the Brisbane community. The letter is dated 20th October 1971
