The Original Australians
The Original Australians
The story of the Aboriginal People
By Josephine FloodUnit price / per
The Original Australians tells the story of Australian Indigenous history and society from its distant beginnings to the present day. From the wisdom and paintings of the Dreamtime to the first contact between Europeans and First Nations Australians, through to the Uluru Statement, it offers an insight into the life and experiences of the world's oldest surviving culture. The resilience and adaptability of Indigenous people over millennia is one of the great human stories of all time.
Josephine Flood answers the questions that Australians and visitors often ask about Aboriginal Australia: Where did the Indigenous people come from and when? How did they survive in Australia's harsh environment? What was the traditional role of indigenous women? What are land rights? How do First Nations people maintain their culture today? And many more.
This bestselling account has been updated and is fascinating reading for anyone who wants to discover Indigenous Australia.
'. . . an intriguing and accessible history for anyone, from overseas visitors to Australians . . .' Sydney Morning Herald
