4.9/5 (22574 ratings)

Description:One of the better studies on the history of Aboriginal Australia's interactions with white Australia, it delves into the unique culture of the Ngarrindjeri Aboriginal people of the Lower Murray River and the Coorong of South Australia.This review of the history of the Aboriginal people of the lower Murray Lakes in south Australia won the SA Biennial History Prize in 1978, and the Wilke Literary Award for non-fiction in 1979. Tells of the struggles of the Ngarrindjeri against European invasion and domination, and also discusses the role of the Aborigines' Friends Association, in particular George Taplin, who established the Point McLeay Mission and whose journals form a major source for this book. The author is a research fellow at the University of South Australia, a poet and composer.While other Aboriginal nations have lost much of their culture after hundreds of years of contact with European Australia, the Ngarrindjeri have remained defiant and while this book obviously covers the conquest of the Ngarrindjeri, it shows that the Ngarrindjeri have not given up and assimilated into mainstream society (and in the years since this book was written, the Ngarrindjeri have continued to thrive).David Unaipon, the Ngarrindjeri man called "The black Da Vinci" is mentioned here, along with his father James, the first Aboriginal deacon, and Pullum, the last of the traditional Rupelle's (president) of the Ngarrindjeri Tendi (parliament).We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
