Footprints reveals the story of Lucy and Percy Pepper who were affected by laws and government policies that defined who was ‘Aboriginal’ and who was not in early twentieth century Victoria.

Their story is told through correspondence between Percy and Lucy Pepper and government officials. The letters are now in the collections of the National Archives of Australia and Public Record Office Victoria. (back cover)
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander readers, please note that this book may contain descriptions and/or images of people who have passed away.
