"The articles in this collection represent a decade of writing by Aboriginal historian and activist Jackie Huggins. Sister Girl examines many topics, including community action, political commitment, the tradition and the value of oral history, and government intervention in Aboriginal lives. It challenges accepted notions of the appropriateness of mainstream feminism in Aboriginal society and of white historians writing Indigenous history. Closer to home, there are accounts of personal achievement and family experience as she revisits the writing of Auntie Rita with her mother Rita Huggins - the inspiration for her lifework."--BOOK JACKET.
