'A masterpiece.' Thomas Mayo

In 1963-a year of agitation for civil rights worldwide-the Yolnu of northeast Arnhem Land created the Yirrkala Bark Petitions: Naku Dharuk. 'The land grew a tongue' and the land-rights movement was born.

Naku Dharuk is the story of a founding document in Australian democracy and the trailblazers who made it. It is also a pulsating picture of the ancient and enduring culture of Australia's first peoples.

And it is a masterful, groundbreaking history.

Clare Wright's Democracy Trilogy began with The Forgotten Rebels of Eureka and continued with You Daughters of Freedom. It concludes with this compulsively readable account of a momentous episode in our shared story.

'A landmark history.' Mark McKenna
