different Indigenous tribes and languages once existed in
Australia? What is the purpose of a corroboree? What effect do
the events of the past have on Indigenous peoples today?

countless others about the oldest race on Earth. It explores
Indigenous life in Australia before 1770, the impact of white
settlement, the ongoing struggle by Aboriginal and Torres Strait
Islander peoples to secure their human rights and equal
treatment under the law, and much more. Celebrating the
contributions of Indigenous people to contemporary Australian
culture, the book explores Indigenous art, music, dance,
literature, film, sport, and spirituality. It discusses the
concept of modern Indigenous identity and examines the ongoing
challenges facing Indigenous communities today, from health and
housing to employment and education, land rights, and self-
determination. - Explores significant political momentss
