In 1963 the Yolngu people of Arnhem Land presented the government with a petition protesting plans to allow mining in the area. The typewritten petition, signed by seventeen elders from Yirrkala, was framed by a bark painting and became known as the bark petition. Check here for the official government version of the story including the full text of the petition.
