Item description from seller

AUSTRALIANA ABORIGINAL HISTORY ARTAccompanies the exhibition at the University of Queensland Art Museum.Inspired by the words of revered Gurindji/ Malngin leader Vincent Lingiari, âthat land⦠I still got it on my mind,âÂStill in my mindÂreflects on events preceding and following the seminal Gurindji Walk Off â" where Lingiari led over 200 countrymen, women and children off Wave Hill Station to protest poor wages and conditions.Curator and participating artist Professor Brenda L. Croft developed the exhibition through long-standing practice-led research with her fatherâs community, Karungkarni Art and Culture Aboriginal Corporation and UNSW Galleries, UNSW Art & Design.âThe 1966 Walk-Off was a trigger point in the national land rights movement in Australia, so the events of this time and place are significant to me as a Gurindji/Malngin/Mudburra woman, through my direct family connection to the area, and through my familyâs experience as members of the Stolen Generations,â Croft said.In developing the exhibition Croft retraced the steps of those who made the 22-kilometre Wave Hill Walk-Off journey half a century ago in homage to those before her:âI was motivated to develop this exhibition in partnership with Karungkarni artists and Gurindji community members in tribute to those whose profound communal act of courage, resilience and determination changed the course of history,â Ms Croft said. 148 pages : illustrations (chiefly colour), 1 colour map, portraits (chiefly colour) ; 26 cm Includes bibliographical references (pages 138-141) #030324 Lingiari, Vincent, 1919-1988 Aboriginal Australians -- Land tenure -- Northern Territory -- Wave Hill Station Gurindji (Australian people) -- Treatment -- Northern Territory -- Wave Hill Station Stockmen -- Northern Territory -- Wave Hill Station Strikes and lockouts -- Cattle trade -- Northern Territory -- Wave Hill Station Wave Hill Station (N.T.) -- History Wave Hill Station (N.T.) -- Social conditions Australian  Elizabeth's Bookshops have been one of Australia's premier independent book dealers since 1973.
