| The Tasmanian Aboriginal Centre (TAC) was formerly known as the Tasmanian Aboriginal Information Service. Its 1977 petition to the Tasmanian Parliament asking for land rights became known as the Aboriginal Land Claim and led ultimately to legislation which returned 12 parcels of land to the Aboriginal community. TAC provides information, legal, health, counselling and recreation services to the Aboriginal community. It works to repatriate cultural artefacts and human remains which are prresently held in museums and international collections. It also encourages people to learn and preserve traditional skills. |
