I The Aboriginal

My name is Waipuldanya or Wadjiri-Wadjiri. I'm a full blood Aboriginal of the Alawa tribe of the Roper River in the Northern Territory. In his youth Waipuldanya was taught to track and hunt wild animals to live off the land to provide for his family with the aid only of his spears and woomeras. This is the gripping story of his boyhood and youth and how he trained as a skilled medical assistant to become a citizen of both the Aboriginal and whitefella worlds. This is the first great classic of Aboriginal autobiography as told to renowned writer Douglas Lockwood.
