- Summary:
-
The 12 short life stories in Telling are grounded in First Nations storytelling traditions and reveal the diverse and complex nature of the experience of living in the wake of colonialisation. Telling fits with this year’s NAIDOC theme, For Our Elders. It also speaks to the contemporary political movement for truth-telling and Treaty in Victoria and nationally. The voices of First Nations Elders living in Victoria are prioritised and honoured in this work.

- Notes:
-
- "Telling is a touching anthology of stories by Elders of the Nairm Marr Djambana Aboriginal Association. Compiled with help of editor Sina Summers during a crucial moment of truth-telling and Treaty for the State of Victoria, these testimonies of 12 treasured community members in chorus describe experiences of loss, family separation, racism, and above all the unbroken spirit of resistance and resilience. They are a true testament to the strength of our Elders"--Back Cover.
