Description: Journey into the deep history and enduring presence of the Jagera and Turrbal peoples, the traditional custodians of the lands and waterways around what is now Brisbane. From ancient kinship systems and sophisticated seasonal economies to the shaping of the landscape itself, this book traces a rich cultural world long before European arrival, then follows the difficult chapters of contact, resistance, and adaptation through the colonial era and beyond. Combining Country, language, law, and lived experience, it offers a thoughtful account of survival, continuity, and the ongoing assertion of sovereignty into the present day.
