Stephen L. Davis

This volume explores Aboriginal Australia through the words of ten senior Aboriginal people, who describe experiences with which few non-Aboriginal Australians will be familiar. Stories such as Eileen Belia working for the "missus" in the "big" house, and Toby Pitjara's sadness at the erosion of cultural traditions show the determination of Aboriginal people to breathe new life into their culture, through the preservation of their oral traditions.
