The Euahlayi Tribe A Study Of Aboriginal Life In Australia (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162693910)

The Euahlayi Tribe: A Study of Aboriginal Life in Australia is a comprehensive ethnographic study of the Euahlayi people, a group of Indigenous Australians who lived in the North-Western region of New South Wales. The book was written by Langloh Parker, an Australian writer and ethnographer who lived among the Euahlayi people during the late 19th century. The book provides a detailed account of the Euahlayi people's customs, beliefs, and way of life. It covers topics such as their social organization, religious beliefs, hunting and gathering practices, and their interactions with other Indigenous groups and European settlers. Parker's work is notable for its detailed descriptions of Euahlayi ceremonies and rituals, including the Bora initiation ceremony and the Corroboree dance.Throughout the book, Parker emphasizes the importance of understanding and respecting Indigenous cultures, and her writing reflects a deep appreciation for the Euahlayi people and their way of life. The Euahlayi Tribe is an important historical document that provides valuable insights into the lives and traditions of Indigenous Australians during the colonial period. It remains a widely read and respected work in the field of anthropology and Indigenous studies.But what is supposed to strengthen them more than anything, both mentally and physically, is a small piece of the flesh of a dead person, or before a body is put in a bark coffin a few incisions were made in it; when it was coffined it was stood on end, and what drained from the incisions was caught in small wirrees and drunk by the mourners.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
