Book Description

Secondhand. Near fine condition.

A long time ago, Indigenous Australian seafarers sailed to Hawaii on the trade winds. When they got there, they exchanged skills, information and technology.

A story told to his uncle by an Indigenous Hawaiian elder would change the shape of Gumbaynggirr/Gamilaroi man Victor Briggs’ life and send him on a search for answers to the question: were Indigenous Australians master navigators of one of the world’s largest oceans, the South Pacific? Is this yet another example of suppression of the past in colonial history?

Bringing voice to his ancestors and the power of oral storytelling, Victor shares his compelling journey into the past through research, stories and visions. This seed of an idea is crying out for further research about the world’s largest ocean and its Indigenous trading networks. (back cover)
