About
This book has been prepared for the people of Boigu Island in the Torres Strait; one of the most remote regions of Australia. Driving the book is a commitment by the authors to help Australia’s First Nation peoples. Its primary goal is to report on the delivery of goods to the Community of Boigu Island, and in so doing share something of our experiences on the Island with the traditional people; a people who often miss out when it comes to their share of the nation’s wealth and resources.
The printing of this book was made possible through funds provided by the Indigenous Women’s Research Consortium, also known as the IWRC. The IWRC is an association of local, national and international Indigenous women researchers who share the common goal of achieving excellence in research endeavours; for Indigenous communities by Indigenous women.
