Aboriginal People, Then and Now - Bosses Ourselves

Product Description

In the 200 or so years since European settlement of Australia, the way of life of Australia's traditional owners has changed forever. Four aspects of Aboriginal life have been most affected: family life, land rights; self-government; and access to sacred sites and freedom of cultural expression. Each title in the Aboriginal People, Then and Now series explores one important aspect of Aboriginal life and chronicles how it has changed.
In Bosses Ourselves, the story of Aboriginal self-government - then and now - is told. Read about the traditional importance to Aboriginal people of their senior men and women and how the arrial of European settlers disrupted forever the way Aboriginal people arganised their society and governed themselves.
