Description
SECOND HAND BOOK
Iris Burgoyne lives through phenomonal tides of change in this evocative extended family history from the Mirning and Kokatha people of South Australia’s stormy west coast. Iris – her traditional Mirning name, Yumadoo Kochallalya, means white cockatoo – kept a firm hold of her culture, and recounts her story with feisty panache, sparing no shortcomings, official or otherwise. A stunning feast of archival photographs reveal in superb detail a social portrait of Koonibba mission, showing the poignant faces of a resourceful people, determined to overcome the stigma of social oppression and intense religious persuasion – the People of the Whales.
