In celebrating 30 years of the NSW Aboriginal Land Rights Act, the ‘Legends of Land Rights’ Project captures the stories of those who contributed in their way to the movement.

This Episode in 2 parts features Tiga Bayles who has fought for the rights and well being of Aboriginal people around the world. Tiga was instrumental in helping establish the 1972 Aboriginal Tent Embassy in Canberra and later went on to become the Chairperson of the New South Wales Aboriginal Land Council.
