 'On his first major field trip after being appointed assistant entomologist at the South Australian Museum in 1918, Norman Tindale sketched the tribal Aboriginal boundaries in the Groote Eylandt and Roper River area of the Northern Territory. His map was edited before publication and the boundaries removed, on the basis that Aborigines were wanderers with no fixed attachments to land.'  (Introduction)

'Kevin John Gilbert died on 1 April 1993 from a debilitating respiratory illness. He was an acclaimed Australian writer and he takes his place at the hem of 'the Australian national tradition'. During his life, however, he was an enigma to Australians, Aborigines and other Australians alike. This appreciation hopes to throw some light on the man by discussing first, my personal view, second, the literary authenticity of what he wrote about, and third, the public Kevin Gilbert.'

'The Coordinator from the Kevin Gilbert Memorial Trust presents a reply to the article by Gordon Briscoe titled 'Appreciation' written about the life of Kevin Gilbert. The author of this article feels that the article is disrespectful towards the recently deceased Gilbert and that the article 'Appreciation' failed to achieve basic academic standards of research.'
