Illustrated by Ken Searle.
A fascinating and significant contribution to Australian history, this book tells the story of how Anangu from five different language groups came to live together at Papunya (250 km west of Alice Springs). From the time of first contacts with explorers, missionaries and pastoralists, through the development of the Papunya art movement and the Warumpi Band, this multi-layered text finally leads us to the development of the unique educational environment that is Papunya School. As an example of two-way learning, it is also a profound metaphor for reconciliation.
