WINNER, 2013 DEADLY AWARDS, PUBLISHED BOOK OF THE YEAR

COMMENDED, 2013 VICTORIAN PREMIER'S LITERARY AWARDS, NON-FICTION

An updated, stunning new edition of a Magabala classic, Traditional Healers is a generous and authorised sharing of the words and traditions of the ngangkari, the traditional healers of the Ngaanyatjarra, Pitjantjatjara and Yankunytjatjara Lands, encompassing 350,000 square kilometres of the remote western desert. Acknowledged, respected and accepted, these ngangkari work collaboratively with hospitals and health professionals even beyond this region, working hand-in-hand with Western medical practitioners. For thousands of years, they have nurtured the physical, emotional and social well-being of their people, and now they share their wisdom, natural healing techniques and cultural history through life stories, spectacular photography and artwork. This new edition includes 10 new ngangkari stories.

About the Author

Ngaanyatjarra Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara Women’s Council Aboriginal Corporation was formed in 1980. The idea for a women's organisation arose from the South Australian Pitjantjatjara Land Rights struggle in the late 1970's. The members' determination to improve the quality of life for families in the NPY (Western Desert language) region drives the organisation.

I just received my order and wanted to say thank you for getting it sent out so quickly. I have bought from your shop a few times now and the orders always come within a few days (which is great because I sometimes buy last minute gifts!). But also wanted to say that the shop is great because I know I will always be buying products that are made not only by artists but women which is something I love to support. happy customers.
