Summary
  • "Trying to Get It Back: Indigenous Women, Education and Culture examines aspects of the lives of six women from three generations of two indigenous families. Their combined memories, experiences and aspirations cover the entire twentieth century.".
  • "The first family, Pearl McKenzie, Pauline Coulthard and Charlene Tree, are a mother, daughter and granddaughter of the Adnyamathanha people of the Flinders Ranges in South Australia. The second family consists of Bernie Sound, her niece Valerie Bourne and Valerie's daughter, Brandi McLeod - Sechelt women from British Columbia, Canada.".
  • "The narratives are in their own words, speaking directly to the reader and allowing analysis and interpretation at multiple levels. They are prefaced by a brief history of the two peoples and set between a methodological Foreword and a summative Afterword by Gillian Weiss."--BOOK JACKET.
