AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Rita Cynthia Huggins was born in Carnarvon Gorge/Springsure, Queensland, on 10 August 1921. She died on 27 August 1996, in Brisbane. The fact that over a thousand people, both black and white, attended her funeral last August, in Brisbane, is testimony to her standing in the Aboriginal community and beyond. Rita Huggins was one of those people whom you never quite forgot. You could never say 'Rita who?' after meeting her. For she was a woman of presence, passion and dignity.'  (Introduction)

    'When inviting me, as the newly appointed Principal, to write the editorial column for the journal, the General Editor, Dr Mary Edmunds, suggested that I might like to say something about my 'vision' for the Institute. In addition, however, and perhaps more importantly, I wish to provide some insight into how I might go about pursuing this vision.' (Editorial introduction)
