Description: "Black and white cultures collide in a thousand ways as Aboriginal spirituality clashes with the complex brutality of colonisation at St. Dominic's mission." "With her political awareness raised by work with the city-based Aboriginal Coalition, Mary visits the old mission in the northern Gulf country, place of her mother's and grandmother's suffering." "Mary's return re-ignites community anxieties, and the Council of Elders again turn to their spirit world."--Jacket.
