Summary Among the many things remembered about Celia Smith's life commitment to justice and compassion, are her lobbying for Gurindji land rights in the distant north-west; walking the community with bags of food and loose coins she would give to those in need; speaking in court for a young mother on manslaughter charges; running cardgames and dances and always caring for her family
