It is important for people to understand; to understand Anangu (people of the Central Desert region of Australia), to understand Tjukurpa (our faith). To understand history.

This work tells the story of how Anangu from five different language groups came to live together at Papunya. From the time of first contact with explorers, missionaries and pastoralists, through to the Papunya art movement and the Warumpi Band, the multi-layered text finally leads us to the development of the unique educational environment that is Papunya School. As an example of two-way learning, it is a profound metaphor for reconciliation. The book is a collaboration involving the staff and students of Papunya School, working together with children's writer Nadia Wheatley and artist Ken Searle. Combining many voices and many hands, it was originally produced as a resource to be used for the Papunya School Curriculum.

From the earliest beginnings of the Anangu people to the destructive aftermath of secret nuclear testing, this story takes young readers on a journey through the Maralinga Tjarutja lands of South Australia. An extraordinary illustrated history told from the Indigenous perspective, this book invites children to discover what happened in the Maralinga before the bombs and after.
