AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'This is an intriguing book about a largely under-researched area of indigenous Australia. It is also a book likely to spark controversy. Sharp sets out to redress the limited historical and general knowledge about the Aboriginal groups who were traditional residents in the areas around the tip of Cape York Peninsula in northern Queensland. In doing so, she aims to educate readers out of the general ignorance and disregard for the perspectives of indigenous people in historical accounts of early culture contact and in the personal dynamics of intercultural relationships.(Introduction)
