Author Description

Our Land, Our Stories is a landmark series exploring Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories, peoples and cultures. The series, developed in partnership with AIATSIS (Australian Institute of Aboriginal Torres Strait Islander Studies), includes rare and historically important photos, artwork and audio-visual resources with many texts and stories written by leading Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander authors. The series was created to: - depict both historical and contemporary representations of urban, rural and remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities - celebrate contemporary Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and address prevailing misconceptions - address the lack of comprehensive Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander educational resources in Australian primary schools. -- publisher website.
