Its crystal waters are full of fish, turtle, crab and stingray, to hunt; the land behind has bush fruits, pandanus for weaving, wood for spears, all kinds of useful things. This country is also rich with meaning. 'We can go anywhere and see a river, hill, tree, rock telling a story.' Here too is Laklak's own history, from her long walk across Arnhem Land as a child to her people's fight for land rights and for a say in their children's schooling. She and her family stand tall, a proud and successful Indigenous community.","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46996617363692,"sku":"9781743313961","price":32.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/997badde7bf760b873071b228cb682e0.jpg?v=1763149318"},{"product_id":"songspirals-by-ritjilili-ganambarr-9781760633219","title":"Songspirals","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eJoint winner of the 2020 Prime Minister's Award for Non-Fiction.\u003cbr\u003eShortlisted for the 2020 Victorian Premier's Award for Non-Fiction.\u003c\/b\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eWe want you to come with us on our journey, our journey of songspirals.
