Heritage Photography of the Aboriginal people.

"Calling the Shots"  Aboriginal Photography is a very special book of photography of the Indigenous peoples of this land.  Earlier on there were many photographs that were not very nice but there were also interesting images that today a lot can be gleaned from regarding culture.   I have a book from the 1860's, The History of Australasia and this book contains many interesting images of aboriginal people in distinctly cultural situations participating in ceremony and corroboree.

I would love to peruse the entire book as the images I did saw here were extremely interesting and showed the depth these people had and still have to this very day.
