"I found this to be a very interesting and well written book, describing the traditions and lifestyle of the Aborigine with thoroughness and appreciation. It becomes very clear that, far from being lazy or ignorant, these people are quite intelligent, with many practices and beliefs that westernized people would do well to emulate. I think it would be fascinating spending a few years living this way, if possible. The book has numerous quotations, pictures of the people and their artwork, and goes into a good amount of detail about their rich and fascinating metaphysical life. A great read!"
