The family of Lowitja O'Donoghue, a celebrated Aboriginal leader, is organizing an exhibition at the Bob Hawke Prime Ministerial Centre in Adelaide. This exhibition aims to document her remarkable life journey from being a stolen child to becoming Australia's first Aboriginal nurse and a significant figure in the fight for Indigenous rights. The exhibition arose after her niece and daughter spent a year sorting through O'Donoghue's collection of belongings. Key moments of her legacy include her involvement in the 1967 referendum and the Native Title Act, impacting Indigenous affairs profoundly.
O'Donoghue's journey from being a stolen child to a pioneering nurse and an Indigenous rights leader is central to her legacy.
