Essie Coffey--black activist, musician, and resident of 'Dodge City' in north-west New South Wales--demonstrates the conflicts and tensions of living as an Aboriginal under white domination. Encouraging the black community to be proud of their identity and their culture in the face of such domination, Coffey shows how she is passing on knowledge of traditional bush ways to a generation of young Aboriginal children who have only ever known white education. |
