AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'The Dreamtime is very important to the Aboriginal people. It is the basis of our culture and most people don't know much about it.

'Now, after my many films, I have a chance to teach you a little about my people. I hope you enjoy the stories I tell you in this book and in the series of film THE DREAMTIME, on television.' Gulpilil'  (Publication summary)
