Famous historic events such as the Gurindji strike and exodus from Wave Hill cattle station in 1966 paved the way for the 1973 Woodward Royal Commission into Aboriginal land rights in the Northern Territory.
Justice Woodward’s first report to the federal government in July 1973 recommended setting up a Central and a Northern Land Council to present to him the views of Aboriginal people.
A 1975 meeting of representatives of Central Australian Aboriginal communities elected Charlie Perkins as the first Central Land Council chair and Wenten Rubuntja as his deputy.
