Item description from seller

Good condition. Wear to book corners and edges. Tiny scratch to front cover and large scratch on back cover. Foxing to foredges. Scarce. Don McLeod (1908-1999), the legendary spokesman for the desert Aborigines, the skilled prospector who established a large mining industry, a leader of the decisive Pilbara pastoral strike of 1946, and the author of this book, which stakes the Aborigines' legal claim to 1 per cent of Western Australia's revenue. This book is about the "Native" question and the fundamental, uncompromising, and ongoing role Don McLeod has played and continues to play. History of legislation and administration; Aboriginal participation in pearling, pastoral and mining industries; detailed account of 1946 Pilbara Strike and subsequent establishment of Northern Development and Mining Pty Ltd, Pindan Pty Ltd and Nomads Pty Ltd; history and criticism of United Aborigines Mission and specific Benedictine, Seventh Day Adventists and Catholic Missions; struggles for tenure at Moola Bulla, Nookanbah and Strelley Station; role of Dooley Bin Bin, Jacob Oberdoo and Clancy McKenna.
