The first Chairperson of the Redfern (Later Metropolitan) Land Council is Sol Belear. At the first meeting membership forms are handed out to be filled out in which 50 members were needed. At first many people ask: ‘is it worth while? Is it tokenism?’ Other members include Jenny Munro, Ann Weldon, George Watts, Isabel Coe, and Christine Donnelly. (V8, ‘The meaning of our land’), V23 ‘Land is what we do’)
