AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'This is the story of the Yanyuwa, whose traditional country is the islands known as the Sir Edward Pellew Group and the adjacent coastal areas of the Gulf of Carpentaria. It is a story, indeed many stories, told to Richard Baker over thirteen years.' (Sourced: Publisher's note)

Notes

  • Dedicated to the memory of Tim Rakuwurlma, Yanyuwa lawman, historian and geographer.
