Book excerpt: Kim Beazley, Australian ambassador to the US: ‘Peter Coppin is an exceptional figure… His was a clarion call for justice and his life remains relevant today. This is a timely update of Jolly Read’sexcellent work.’ Prof. Pat Dodson, known colloquially as the ‘Father of Reconciliation’: ‘The Pilbara strike was an important and inspiring milestone in the battle for justice, rights, equality and recognition for Indigenous people.’ An updated edition of an epic and remarkable story. In this powerful memoir, Peter Coppin’s story emerges; told in fragments, moments of time and memories. A senior Nyamal lawman, Coppin was born in Yarrie country in Western Australia’s Pilbara. His was a life of danger, drama and hardship; his people forced to work on pastoral stations for meagre rations, their lives subject to the whims of white pastoralists, government agents and legislators. But Coppin dreamed of a life for his people where they could access education and health services, and control their destinies. Despite great danger to themselves, he and others took part in the first Aboriginal strike in Australia, the Pilbara Strike in 1946. For Peter Coppin the land holds mysteries; it’s special and lifegiving and some of it, sacred. Initially uncertain about telling of his extraordinary life and culture, working with trusted friend Jolly Read, the tales spilled forth, building, the fragments into a whole, little by little, tape by tape. To those who asked him questions he said: ‘What are you asking me these questions for anyway? Just read the book’. Kangkushot provides valuable insights into the rich and spiritual way Aboriginal people view their lives and land, and their place in it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tommy Dodd was a middle aged, desert Nyangumarta man and Father McKelson a young Catholic priest from Melbourne. It was the mid 1960s. Together these two kindred spirits from widely different backgrounds met most afternoons on a veranda at remote La Grange Mission to discuss and record the language: Dodd was desperate to see it preserved and McKelson was desperate to preserve it. They knew they were working against time, but neither could imagine how quickly a tragedy would cut this monumental work short.

Book excerpt: The highly popular AIATSIS map of Indigenous Australia is now available in a compact, portable A3 size. Available flat or folded (packaged in a handy cellophane bag ) it s the perfect take-home product for tourists and anyone interested in the diversity of our first nations peoples. The handy desk size also makes it an ideal resource for individual student use. For tens of thousands of years, the First Australians have occupied this continent as many different nations with diverse cultural relationships linking them to their own particular lands. The ancestral creative beings left languages on country, along with the first peoples and their cultures. More than 200 distinct languages, and countless dialects of them, were in use when European colonization began. While people in some communities continue to speak their own languages, many others are seeking to record and revive threatened ones. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples retain their connection to their traditional lands regardless of where they live. Using published resources available from 1988-1994, the map represents the remarkable diversity of language or nation groups of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples of Australia. The map was produced before native title legislation and is not suitable for use in native title or other land claims."
