"This book highlights the transformation of Warakurna School in the Ngaanyatjarra Lands (Western Australia) between 1992-1994 when it moved from being a typification of the long-standing Western domination of schooling to one that accepted the authority of the local Aboriginal community and became committed to supporting and promoting the achievement of community aspirations." --Page vii.
