| Summary |
"The Indigenous history of Australia is a story of change and survival, Sometimes that change has been willing, as Aboriginal people moved their camps closer to white society, seeking access to the goods and customs of colonial Europeans. Sometimes that change has been coercive, forcefully delivered through the laws of a colonial legilasture, or at the end of a squatter's gun. Through acceptance of change, and its resistance, Aboriginal people have survived to become a resilient, modern Australian community. This book explores how two different processes, change and survival, became intertwined during the era of Aboriginal settlements ('missions') in southeastern Australia. It was an era that changed the movement and way of life of Aboriginal people."--p. 1. |
