Title
Correspondence from Kaisu Vartto to Ms Sheila van Holst Pellekaan
Description

Correspondence from Kaisu Vartto (Health Service Manager, Nganampa Health Council, Alice Springs) to Ms Sheila van Holst Pellekaan (17/6/1991) regarding her research proposal to determine genetic makeup of Aboriginal people from different regions of Australia. The Health Committee declined to support her research proposal because 'there are no benefits to Anangu, the proposal presents no priority and it has no relevance to Pitjantjatjara/Yankunytjara people, and it is highly invasive.'
