This work was originally given as a talk at a public meeting called by the South Australian Peace Committee, Society Friends' Hall, North Adelaide on 6 April, 1957.  In this paper, all quotations from cited authorities have been set down in full.  


Written during a time when Indigenous Australians and their culture were viewed as 'the native problem', the author examines and questions the validity of this accepted ideology and attempts to contravene this through an account of his own vast personal experiences of friendship and respect toward members of different indigenous nations.  He felt it very necessary to counter that accepted disrespect on all levels.  A fascinating account based on his own personal experiences and attempts to promote reconciliation in an intellectual and heartfelt manner and with a pioneering spirit.  Obviously a gifted man and one that was offered the respect of those indigenous people who embraced his friendship, notably (from my personal research) the Arrernte people of central Australia.


This is a pamphlet style paperback of 34pp and will be sent with Australia Post tracking.
