Media Reviews
"If you harbor even the slightest suspicion that Aboriginal culture is "primitive" because these people reject agriculture, architecture, writing, clothing, and animal domestication, this book will awaken you....author Robert Lawlor has compiled the best of what Aboriginals have let outsiders know about their ecological and shamanistic practices, origin myths and kinship rituals, social and spiritual practices....a portion of the proceeds from sales of Voices of the First Day will go to Denoch Aboriginal Healing Centre and South Australian Earth Sanctuaries." -- Howard L. Rheingold

by Diane Wolkstein
At the beginning of the world, it was dark and silent and nothing stirred anywhere, until a voice roused the sleeping Sun Mother in the sky, telling her it was time to wake up all the creatures of the earth. The indigenous people of Australia believe that their first ancestors created the world and its laws. They also believe that the world is still being created in a continual process they call The Dreamtime. Renowned storyteller Diane Wolkstein has crafted a powerful retelling of an Australian creation story, illuminated by illustrator Bronwyn Bancroft's authentic, beautifully realized paintings.
