Description

This richly illustrated account of Cape York activist Jean George Awumpun, written from the personal perspective of family, is a rare illustration of the inseparable bonds of ancestory and country. Through the eyes of her grandaughter, this proud Alngith Elder's struggle in claiming her country is movingly revealed.
