"This book tells the Marri Amu and Marri Tjevin story of plant and animal knowledge. This knowledge is ancient, detailed and complex. It has been part of the north Australian landscape for thousands of generations. Keeping this knowledge strong is a key responsibility of Marri Amu and Marri Tejvin Elders. We are very proud of this book and hope it will keep our knwledge strong, and will allow new generations to learn it. We hope this book keeps the knowledge strong forever"...backcover.
