Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book preserves and records some of the few accounts written about the native tribes of South Australia, a region of approximately 380,000 square miles or 980,000 square kilometers. The provided accounts, written by various individuals, document the manners, customs, traditions, mythology, and history of the area's indigenous peoples as observed firsthand during the early to mid-1800s. The sociocultural practices of these tribes, such as marriage, infanticide, initiation ceremonies, funeral rites, and sorcery, are examined in detail. The author discusses the destructive impact of European settlement on the native tribes, including the decimation of their population due to introduced diseases, violence, and the loss of their traditional lands. The book concludes by examining the complex relationship between the white settlers and the aboriginal inhabitants of South Australia.
