PAPUNYA SCHOOL BOOK OF COUNTRY AND HISTORY (25TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION)

This multi-award-winning book tells the story of how Anangu from five different language groups came to live together in the Northern Territory community of Papunya. From the first contacts with explorers, missionaries and pastoralists and the start of the Western Desert art movement and the Warumpi Band, this richly layered text leads us to the development of the Papunya Model of Education, which places Country at the centre of learning. Twenty-five years on, this unique example of ‘two way’ learning remains a profound metaphor for reconciliation.
