AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'The Dharawal Country is bounded by the south of Botany Bay, the Georges River, Appin, Goulburn and the coastal lands down to Wreck Bay near Nowra. The publication of this book is an important community milestone. Les Bursill and Mary Jacobs, in collaboration with artist Deborah Lennis, and with the community representation of Merv Ryan and the recently deceased and muchrespected elder Beryl Timbery-Beller, have provided a valuable summary of local Dharawal culture, kinship and totemic relationships, women’s business, men’s business, body decoration, habitats, music, dance, oral tradition and art styles. There is also a section on Dharawal charcoal drawings of extinct thylacines in southern Sydney.' (Introduction)

    'Cultural expression is a major topic of research interest for AIATSIS and has been since its inception. Research of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander visual arts are, in turn, a significant component of that work. This volume consolidates the work of several AIATSIS research grantees, staff and visitors who are working on projects that explore different aspects of Indigenous art production and how this production relates to the creation of personal and group identity. Some of the projects were presented at an AIATSIS seminar series held in the second semester of 2006 and organised by Luke Taylor and Peter Veth with the support of Patrick Sullivan.' (Editorial introduction)
