Description
A scholarly, cross-cultural exploration of the Nyoongar Aboriginal concept of moort (family) pre and post-contact with a view to improving the way government agencies (particularly welfare bodies) understand and interact with present-day Nyoongar families and their children. Written by a team of Indigenous and non-Indigenous scholars working through the Kurongkurl Katitjin, Centre for Australian Aboriginal Education and Research, Edith Cowan University, the book is divided into three parts: Moort: Koora Koora (Moort in the Deep Past); Moort under Occupation, and; From Surviving to Thriving. The third part includes a focus on interviews with Nyoongar participants.
