Event: Discussion by acclaimed author Clare Wright OAM
About the event:
Join us for an event featuring acclaimed author Clare Wright OAM, Patron of the PMI Victorian History Library. She will discuss her latest book, which delves into the pivotal year of 1963. During this time, leaders of the Yolngu clans, in collaboration with their white allies, embarked on an unprecedented political journey that led to the presentation of four Bark Petitions to the Federal Parliament. <> “Naku Dharuk The Bark Petitions” offers a compelling narrative of a foundational document in Australian democracy and the individuals behind it. Clare Wright’s meticulous research and vivid storytelling bring to life the rich and enduring culture of Australia’s first peoples, highlighting their ongoing resilience and influence.
