AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'This was tape recorded at Beswick on the 19th February, 1989. Willy was a man of considerable tribal significance, and was a powerful leader in the contemporary era. He had been a member of the National Aboriginal Consultative Committee in the 1980's. His sudden death from a heart attack in 1991 was a terrible shock both to his close family and to an extensive network of kin'. (Source: Publisher's note)
