In 2001, there are over 1500 people who are descendants of those people. This book looks mainly at Larrakia history over that one hundred year period as told by Larrakia people themselves. Larrakia people pay tribute to their ancestors who have passed away and the various contributions they made to Darwin. They also recall their own experiences of growing up in Darwin: where and how they lived and worked; the type of bush and sea foods that continued to be available to them even as their country changed; and their individual experiences of government policies of the day which saw so many Larrakia people of mixed descent removed from their families and placed in institutions.'
