AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'This book welcomes us into the country, culture, lives and stories of the Mak Mak clan (the white breasted sea eagle people). In Deborah Bird Rose's writing and Sharon D'Amico's photography, we meet five extraordinary clan women: Nancy Daiyi, Kathy Deveraux, Margaret Daiyi, April Bright and Linda Ford. They share their world with us, their family, their laughter and their passion for country. In learning something of the ecology and sacred geography of the clan's homeland, we are prompted to enlarge our own country, wherever our homeland may be.' (Source: Back cover)

Works about this Work

Fire Was in the Reptile’s Mouth : Towards a Transcultural Ecological Poetics Stuart Cooke , 2016 single work criticism
— Appears in: Landscapes , vol. 7 no. 1 2016; 'This paper compares two creation narratives from indigenous peoples on either side of the Pacific Ocean, the relationships between which catalyse the theorisation of a transcultural approach to ecological poetics. The comparison of these narratives reveals important, rhizomatic similarities, and also unmistakable regional differences, concerning the origins of language and culture in Yanomami (Venezuela) and MakMak (Australia) communities. Concomitant with the centrality of indigenous thought in this theorisation of ecopoetics is the de­centrality of human-only conceptions of poetics. Accordingly, the paper considers non-semantic forms of poetics such as birdsong in order to de-centre classically Western, humanist conceptions of language and ecology.' (Publication abstract)
