This story offers a viewpoint about Australia, not often told.
It is an account of specific events that have impacted upon
the Anangu people, from five different language groups, who
came to live together at Papunya. From first contact, through
to the arrival of missionaries, to Land Rights, this story
has many facets and layers that will unravel as the true story
is told. Other topics include: Stolen Generations; health;
resistance; massacres; and the Assimilation Policy. It is
about two way learning: the Anangu way and the Western way.
Aboriginal language (Anungu) is used throughout the text and
explained in the glossary. A useful and precise timeline is
captured on each double page with the inclusion of an overall
timeline that extends into three pages. A powerful, varied
collection of children’s illustrations and historical photographs
have been used to highlight the reality of events that took
place. Individual recollections by community members have
been used to combine real life experiences with facts about
specific events. This is an inspirational attempt to tell
it as it was, with passion and dignity. D. Anderson
