Kungun Ngarrindjeri Miminar Yunnan
Ngarrindjeri came to prominence in 1990s with the Hindmarsh Island Bridge affair. Labelled 'liars' in 1995 by a South Australian Royal Commission then vindicated in the Federal Court in 2001 as 'truth-tellers', these Ngarrindjeri miminar have much to be angry about. But, they also have stories to tell about their lives and their visions.
When the Ngarrindjeri women of South Australia asked Diane Bell if she would work with them in the running of some workshops to develop a booklet about culture and governance, none of them realised quite where it would take them. This book is the result. It has developed from a booklet to a book that outlines their visions for the future. A future in which their culture is respected, their stories heard, their laws carried out.
