Description
For Indigenous peoples, creation stories about how the land was made by their spirit ancestors are part of their beliefs. After white settlers came to Australia in 1788, Indigenous peoples lost much of their traditional lands. Recently, some land has been returned to them. In this book you will read about the history behind Land Rights issues in Australia.
