Uluru: An Aboriginal History of Ayres Rock

Robert Layton describes how religion, subsistence patterns, and land ownership all form part of a living culture, despite the fact that the Yakunjatjara and Pitjantjatjara have lived like refugees in their own country for the past hundred years. He traces the history of their dispossession and their relations with bureaucracies, cattle stations, missions and police. The Yakunjatjara and Pitjantjatjara people see Uluru as the major centre of dreaming tracks which crisscross central Australia.
