'In 1993, The International Year for the World's Indigenous Peoples, the ABC Boyer Lectures were presented by seven Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, including Australian of the Year, Mandawuy Yunupingu.
While being informed by the past, the lectures looked forward, offering some vision of the future for Aboriginal and Islander life in Australia.
Titled Voices From the Land and celebrating the wide range of talent and opinion among the Indigenous Australians, the lectures covered medicine, law, education, the media, politics and linguistics.'
