Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Previous owner has signed inside page. Dust jacket has light creasing at edges and spine.

Warri and Yatungka were believed to be the last of the Mandildjara tribe of the Gibson Desert to live nomadically. Their deaths in the late 1970s marked the end of a tribal lifestyle that stretched back more than 30,000 years.

The Last of the Nomads tells of an extraordinary journey in search of Warri and Yatungka.

'Peasley's description of the events is informative, compassionate, exciting and at times deeply moving.' Australian Book Review

Basis of the award-winning documentary Footprints in the Sand, 2007
