Michael C. Westaway; Mandana Mapar; Tracey Hough; Shawnee Gorringe; Geoff Ginn
Brisbane: The University of Queensland Anthropology Museum, 2022.“The project was developed in partnership between the Anthropology Museum, Mithaka Aboriginal Corporation and researchers from The University of Queensland. This publication contains 14 essays by 22 contributors and explores the pre-colonial history of the Channel Country, to the early years of European settlement and through to the more recent history, now being shaped by the academic researchers that have come to study the distant past of the land and the people who have always been part of this story. But this is not just about the past – it continues into the present. Central to this story is the involvement of the Aboriginal people who have never ceased their connection to the Channel Country.” (publisher’s blurb)
