'This small book, according to the "Author's Notes", began as a departmental report for the Heritage Unit of the Department of Environment and Planning in South Australia. It gives an outline of the history of the Adnyamathanha, the Aboriginal people of the North Flinders Ranges and their contact with the Udnyu (white people). It was intended "primarily for the Adnyamathanha community and high school students". It is also meant to cater for the wider public.' (Introduction)
