I have known Aboriginal people, seen Aboriginal dances and gained a vague recognition that there was something quite spiritual about their culture, however primitive it seemed. Counterbalancing this, in my culture, are many negative stereotypes about the Aboriginal people. Mr Cowan tells a compelling and very different story and therefore I highly recommend this book to all non-Aboriginal Australians, and indeed others from monotheistic and westernised cultures, as a starting point for making sense of Aboriginal culture.

Whether making a Dream Journey in search of his ancestral roots or painting his body in order to recreate his culture heroes, the Aborigine participates in an intense spiritual reality that can only be expressed and experienced in the Dreaming-an event of luminous beauty that has given his life purpose and meaning for over 50000 years. James Cowan brings the tradition to life in this exploration of the Dreaming Country where the Aborigine is always close to his ancestors his Sky Heroes and his totemic birthplace.
