Description

"Pila Nguru is a detailed account of the culture and history of the Spinifex People, an almost invisible people in modern Aboriginal Australia, known only by rumour to observers of Aboriginal culture and absent from virtually all Western Desert anthropological scholarship. Hidden from European eyes until the 1950s, the last of the Spinifex nomads remained uncontacted in their homelands until 1986, making them perhaps the last hunter-gatherers on earth."--Jacket.
