Plot

This study examines the culture, politics and history of the Ngarrindjeri people and the burning issue of the "women's business" in the Hindmarsh Island bridge case
This finely textured ethnography weaves written texts with the voices of women and men who struggle to protect their sacred sites. It provides a deeper understanding of lives profoundly affected by two centuries of colonization.
