| Summary Note |
This book "highlights myriad ways to engage and deepen our knowledge and appreciation of Australia's First peoples, who have the longest continuing culture on Earth. In the first section, Professor Marcia Langton introduces Indigenous cultures with fascinating insights into Indigenous histories, languages, art, performance and storytelling, as well as etiquette for visitors. She also addresses events and issues facing Indigenous Australians today, such as Native Title, the Stolen Generations, the 2020 bushfires, the Black Lives Matter movement, and making a rightful place in the nation for the First Australians. The second section offers a comprehensive travel directory with over 400 listings featuring Indigenous-owned or -operated tourism experiences across Australia." - Back cover. |
