Why Warriors Lie Down and Die

The result of over 30 years of working face to face with Aboriginal people, this book identifies many of the causes of the crisis faced by Aboriginal Australians and provides examples of ways people working with Aboriginal people effectively empower Indigenous Communities.

“Many books have been about the Yolngu people of Arnhem Land (NT Australia). This one is very different. It speaks of about the real situation that we face every day, a reality that is hard for people of another culture to imagine.”

Dr. Djiniyini Gondarra
