This multi-award-winning book tells the story of how Anangu from five different language groups came to live together at Papunya. From the time of first contacts with explorers, missionaries and pastoralists, through to the Papunya art movement and the Warumpi Band, this multi-layered text finally leads us to the development of the unique educational environment that is Papunya School. As an example of two way learning, it is a profound metaphor for reconciliation.

'A salutary example of shared authority in the writing of history and demonstrates the educational imperatives of the reconciliation process.' Judges Report, NSW Premier's Young People's History Awards, 2002


'Papunya School Book combines language simple enough for primary school children with concepts too complex for many Australian politicians'
Jenny Pausacker, The Weekend Australian

'No course in Australian history, at whatever level, will ever be complete now without the Papunya School Book of Country and History.'
Margaret Dunkle, Australian Book review


Industry Reviews
'An extraordinary publication ... a restoration, a rebuilding, a rediscovery of vision.' Magpies'The interface between traditional paintings and Western-style illustration is an integral part of the book's method and meaning. Similarly, the text combines language simple enough for primary school children with concepts too complex for many Australian politicians.' The Weekend Australian'A rare artistic achievement.'Panorama'No course in Australian history, at whatever level, will ever by complete now without Papunya School Book of Country and History.'
