'Lies, Lies, Lies shouted the newspaper headlines following the Royal Commission decision into building the Hindmarsh Island Bridge. Doreen Kartinyeri, key Ngarrindjeri spokeswoman, was devastated. How could whitefella law fail to protect Aboriginal women's sites? Against a backdrop of abuse, threats and ill-health, Kartinyeri fought back. In 2001 the HREOC Inquiry vindicated the women...

Although poorly schooled in formal terms, Kartinyeri was a tenacious researcher. Her sharp memory allowed her to piece together histories and genealogies and she helped reunite members of the stolen generations.

Doreen Kartinyeri was a female warrior, dedicated to upholding and protecting Ngarrindjeri law. Here she reveals a deep-set desire for social justice, fuelled by passionate love and anger. Her wit and humour abound, while her integrity and sense of justice are inspirational.' Source: Publisher's blurb
