'Storytelling is everyday practice and experience for Wiradjuri Kooris in rural New South Wales. It is how kids learn who they are, it reinforces Koori identity, and enables continuity of culture. Our Stories are Our Survivalby Wiradjuri academic Lawrence Bamblett (2013) examines stories told by Wiradjuri people from Erambie in Cowra, countering pervasive ‘straight-line’ (focused) stories told by newspaper journalists, academics and whitefellas when representing Indigenous peoples (46). As the evocative title suggests, stories are the lifeblood of this text, but it is more than a sum of oral histories.' (Introduction)
