The emergence of Aboriginal social and political movements is presented as the basis for repossession of traditional heritages in land and culture. Topics include ethnocentric versions of history, consequences of the practices and policies particularly in relation to the Aborigines Protection Boards, Indigenous Australian social and political movements, and misconceptions about Aboriginal history; and their impact on public opinion to the detriment of Indigenous peoples.
