An interview with Kathleen [Kath] Walker, [Oodgeroo Noonuccal] Australian aboriginal poet, activist and social worker.
She explains how Aborigines find difficulty in adjusting to white social life, food they once ate is no longer available and education is not geared to get them to the top.
She talks about her interest in words, how her poetry became published and her activism to gain greater equality for indigenous Australians.
She answers questions about the place of violence in anti-racist struggles.
