Description
Naku Dharuk: The Bark Petitions is hailed as 'A masterpiece.' — Thomas Mayo
In 1963—a year marked by civil rights agitation worldwide—the Yolŋu of northeast Arnhem Land created the Yirrkala Bark Petitions: Naku Dharuk. ‘The land grew a tongue’ and the land-rights movement was born.
Naku Dharuk is the story of a founding document in Australian democracy and the trailblazers who made it. It is also a vivid portrayal of the ancient and enduring culture of Australia’s first peoples.
This work stands as a masterful, groundbreaking history.
Clare Wright’s Democracy Trilogy began with The Forgotten Rebels of Eureka and continued with You Daughters of Freedom. It concludes with this compulsively readable account of a momentous episode in our shared story.
'A landmark history.' — Mark McKenna
