AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Traditional healers of Central Australia: Ngangkari is a rich and diverse collection of Ngangkari stories that builds on the previous text, Ngangkari work — Anangu way, which is now out of print. The text contains stories, similes and symbols of Anangu cultural beliefs and ways of life, and the sophisticated translations from Pitjantjatjara, Yankunytjatjara and Ngaanyatjarra by the translation team must be noted.'  (Introduction)

    'This edition includes papers on topics ranging from the reported sleep patterns of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children to a discussion of the meanings attached to drawings made by an Aboriginal historian from western Arnhem Land. As always, a common tie between the diverse set of topics is our commitment to promote the inherent rights of Indigenous peoples. This includes the right to self-determination and to be full and fair participants in research that impacts Indigenous people.'  (Editorial introduction)
