3.5 - this is a hugely important book that draws together insights that Trudgen has compiled from decades of working with communities in Arnhem land. The writing is a bit clunky and structurally it doesn't always work, but there's so much of value here that it doesn't really matter.

Great book to read if you seek some insight into the difficulties in applying non Indigenous law and other programs to Indigenous commuities and peope. Fascinating book and very easy to read. I have heard of people who dispute some of the information in the book, but alas it makes you query how your perception of the world and its players may differ to others perceptions.
