Possession
Batman's Treaty and the Matter of History
Bain Attwood
The fascinating story of the only treaties ever made in Australia.
It contemplates why these agreements were forged, how the Aboriginal people understood their terms, why government repudiated them, and how settlers claimed to be the rightful owners of the land.
