1995 - OWN’s Reconciliation efforts
The Aboriginal Study Circle (ASC) invites members of the Indigenous community to speak to them beginning with Wiradjuri women Elsie Heiss and Millie Ingram.
The ASC visits The Block in Redfern to meet a Yorta Yorta woman, Betty Little, who makes a huge impression on the group. The first Celebrate the Spirit of Reconciliation is organised by the ASC at La Perouse during Seniors Week.
History is herstory too.
