The Anangu of Uluru and Kata Tjuta (Fighting for Survival)

Meer over het boek

The Anangu of Uluru and Kata Tjuta was written with the co-operation of the Anangu people of the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park in the Northern Territory. For thousands of years the Anangu had lived in harmony with the land, eating bush tucker and practising land management techniques such as patch burning. The arrival of Europeans changed this. They did not recognise the indigenous peoples as rightful owners and took their land. This book tells aobut Anangu traditions that are thousands of years old. It also tells of how Anangu people have regained ownership of their land and now work with non-Aboriginal people to manage the land so that Anangu may continue many of their important traditions and so that tourists may visit without cultural insensitivity
