I am Uluru: A Family's Story gives a glimpse into the hitherto untold story of the family entrusted as traditional owners and custodians of arguably Australia's most iconic landmark - Uluru (formerly known as Ayers Rock) and that country, which has been home to the Anangu (people of the Central Desert) for tens of thousands of years. The story begins at the relatively recent point in history known as first contact and follows the highs and lows of the family (and all Anangu's) struggle to adapt to the increasingly European world while still holding on to their deeply traditional faith and way of life. Told with an intoxicating mix of personal recollection - in their own words - and well-researched and sensitively crafted creative and contextual narrative, the book takes the reader on a journey of discovery and enlightenment, but makes neither judgement nor conclusion - the reader is left to digest the knowledge and reach their own understanding.
