- Summary:
-
The story told to his uncle by an Indigenous Hawaiian elder would change the shape of Gumbaynggirr/Gamilaroi man Victor Briggs' life, and send him in search of an answer to the question: were Indigenous Australians master navigators of one of the world's largest oceans, the South Pacific? Based on his masters thesis, Victor shares his compelling journey into the past through research, stories and visions whilst bringing voice to his seafaring ancestors and the power of oral storytelling.
