  Aboriginal Treaty Committee
The Aboriginal Treaty Committee, chaired by Nugget Coombs, was set up in 1979 and ran until 1983. Its aim was to promote the idea of a Treaty amongst non-Indigenous Australians. Stuart Harris and Judith Wright both wrote books on behalf of the Aboriginal Treaty Committee, and Mildred Kirk wrote a series of pamphlets on land rights for the Aboriginal Treaty Committee. These are also reproduced here.
