Description

This is the story of Kaurna man Uncle Lewis O'Brien and his family, beginning with his great, great grandmother Kudnarto - the first Aboriginal woman to marry a white man in South Australia. An esteemed Aboriginal elder, Lewis O'Brien worked as a fitter and machinist for 30 years, before joining the SA education department as an Aboriginal education liaison officer in 1977, where his presence made a real impact on the numbers of Indigenous children completing high school.
