Doreen Kartinyeri, key Ngarrindjeri spokeswoman, was devastated. How could whitefella law fail to protect Aboriginal women's sites? Against a backdrop of abuse, threats and ill-health, Doreen fought back. In 2001 the HREOC Inquiry vindicated the women. Aged 10 years, Doreen suffered the loss of her mother, her sister's removal and her own placement in Fullarton Girls Home, 100 kms from home. Doreen later learnt about her culture from her Aunty Rosie and other women with whom she spent time. She had nine children of her own and fostered 23 others. Although poorly schooled in formal terms, Doreen was a tenacious researcher. Her sharp memory allowed her to piece together histories and genealogies and she helped reunite members of the Stolen Generations. Doreen was a female warrior, dedicated to upholding and protecting Ngarrindjeri law. In this autobiography Doreen Kartinyeri reveals a deep-set desire for social justice, fuelled by passionate love and anger. Her wit and humour abound, while her integrity and sense of justice are inspirational\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Doreen Kartinyeri\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0855756594\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780855756598\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Aboriginal Studies Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2008 pg. 78","brand":"Doreen Kartinyeri","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48483399991551,"sku":"9780855756598","price":29.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c275b03d-28b3-4571-a82e-47c56522aadd.jpg?v=1778038562","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/doreen-kartinyeri-doreen-kartinyeri-9780855756598","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
