The Dark Emu Story

2023 · M · Indigenous

Bruce Pascoe’s 2014 best-selling book Dark Emu ignited a raging debate and challenged Australians to rethink our history. The Dark Emu Story explores the cultural impact of the book which claimed that First Nations people were not only hunters and gatherers but also farmers who were part of a complex economic system.
