Content Summary:

This series is comprised of speeches, addresses and lectures given by Professor Lowitja O'Donoghue for the most part ordered chronologically. Many of the speeches relate to O'Donoghue's roles as chair of Aboriginal Hostels, chair of Aboriginal Development Commission and the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission (ATSIC). O'Donoghue's speeches reflect her role as an advocate for Indigenous rights, with a focus on improving health, housing, education and overall welfare outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. O'Donoghue also advocated for the rights of refugees seeking asylum in Australia and equality for women.

Majority of the items in this series are speeches given by O'Donoghue; whenever there was material not by O'Donoghue a note has been added at the file level.
