(paperback)
by Miriam Shinn
The Oombulgurri people are a small remnant of numerous tribes that inhabited Australia before being massacred by white settlers in the 1920s. Those who escaped the massacres had found refuge with Anglican missionaries, but when the missions closed, the tribal people were forced to live on the city streets where they found themselves losing their traditions and abusing alcohol.
Co-founder of Village Earth, Miriam provides a gripping account of a three year project to assist the Aboriginal Oombulgurri people of Australia's Outback to return to 3.5 million acres of land returned to them by the Australian government in the 1970's.
