This book needs to be the next book you read, especially for Australians. It discusses the loss of connection to culture by Australia's Indigenous people after the invasion by British colonists. The devastating impact of the stolen generations and how it contributed to the loss of language, practices, traditions and people throughout Australia's terrible and bloody history. Winch finishes the book with a dictionary from the Wiradjuri language, and provides resources for how readers can further learn about Australia's Indigenous land and cultures.  

This land was stolen and never ceded. Always was, always will be.
