'Like other members of the Stolen Generation, Bob Randall was taken away from his family by white authorities. He was seven years old. As an adult he began the long process of finding his family again...and establishing a career as an Aboriginal educator. He is now a renowned singer and performer...
Woven through Randall's story like the Rainbow Serpent is a clear account of the Aboriginal worldview and philosophy...At once a gripping autobiography and an outstanding lucid account of Aboriginal spirituality and belief...' Source: Publisher's blurb

Kanyini is a story told by an Aboriginal man, Bob Randall, who lives beside the greatest monolith in the world, Uluru in Central Australia.
Based on Bob's own personal journey and the wisdom he learnt from the old people living in the bush, Bob tells the tale of why Indigenous people are now struggling in a modern world and what needs to be done for Indigenous people to move forward.
A tale of Indigenous wisdom clashing against materialist notions of progress, this is not only a story of one man and his people but the story of the human race.' Source: http://www.kanyini.com/ (Sighted 30/08/2007).
