Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. 'I'm your half-brother and I'm here to stay. This is my home.' With these words Wilmot Abraham sought refuge with his white relations. Wilmot was the best-known Aboriginal in the Warrnambool district of Victoria, a man who maintained the old way of life long after his people were dispossessed. Local farmers spoke of him as 'the last of his tribe'. Few were aware that his father had been a white lad working as a boundary rider on the Western District frontier; and only the Aboriginal community knew that Wilmot had barely escaped with his life from the violent seizure of his mother's people's country. In Untold Stories, Jan Critchett presents a series of moving Aboriginal biographies from the Western District of Victoria, drawing both on the oral tradition of local Koori Elders and on official records. Wilmot's is one of the many untold stories that appear here for the first time. Untold Stories opens our eyes to a number of remarkable individuals who managed to make a life for themselves in the interstices of the society that had dispossessed them. Their long-running battle to maintain their culture and their connection to country, in the face of a regime that seemed bent on denying their humanity, is both humbling and inspiring. Presents a series of moving Aboriginal biographies from the Western District of Victoria. The author draws on both the oral tradition of local Koori elders and on official records. The book opens our eyes to a number of remarkable individuals who managed to make a life for themselves at the edges of the society that had dispossessed them. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "A "distant field of murder"" tells the story of a frontier -- south-western Victoria during the 1830s and 1840s. In vivid detail it describes how one culture, that of the original possessors of the land, responded to the catastrophe visited upon it by the white settlers. It reveals the complexity of the settlement process, the choices confronting the newcomers as they struggled to establish themselves. It expresses the dilemmas faced by the colonial administration attempting to maintain a fragile peace. Though a detailed examination of one region, "A "distant field of murder"" explores an immense human drama, the consequences of which remain with us to this day. It will be widely read by anthropologists and historians. This book is intended for students and researchers in Australian history, Aboriginal studies and anthropology. The author challenges some previously strongly held opinions about the Aborigines: that their only shelters were frail mia-mias, that they had no attachment to a particular area of land, and that they were simple hunters and gatherers.
