The book, recounts how Lutheran missionaries' attempted to dominate and proselytize the Diyari Aborigines led sadly to degradation and suffering for both groups. The book preserves some valuable linguistic and ethnographic work, drawing from interviews with families of those who survived the mission. (Source: Koorong.com)
