Items related to Yiwarra Kuju: The Canning Stock Route
Synopsis
In 2007, nearly 70 Aboriginal artists traveled through the Canning Stock Route—a track in Western Australia along which cattle could be driven from Kimberley stations in the north to markets in the south—to return to places they had left as children, reconnect with family, or reclaim histories. This collection is the result of this journey, and it includes these artists’ magnificent works of art and absorbing narratives. From the Aboriginal perspective, this colorful book relates the story of the stock route's impact and the importance of the country around it.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The Aboriginal people of Australia's Western Desert lived in their homelands for thousands of years. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the expansion of the Western Australian mining and pastoral industries led to the surveying of a track along which cattle could be driven from Kimberley stations to markets in the south. This track became known as the 'Canning Stock Route'. In July and August 2007 nearly 70 artists, facilitated by Western Australian cultural organisation FORM, travelled up the stock route on a six-week return to Country. Yiwarra Kuju includes beautiful plates of the complete Canning Stock Route Collection and for the very first time tells the story of the stock route's impact, and the importance of the country around it, by Aboriginal voices and interpreted through Aboriginal eyes. In July and August 2007 nearly 70 artists, facilitated by Western Australian cultural organisation FORM, travelled up the stock route on a six-week return to Country.
