Acknowledgements

I acknowledge the First Nations of Australia and globally, especially those in resistance with contemporary settler invasion societies such as Australia, New Zealand, Canada, USA, Hawaii, and Tibet. I thank Soma Pillay for being such a marvellous co-conspirator and collaborative writer on this project. I commend Soma for her patience and encouragement. The book would have less finesse without her involvement. I also appreciate Soma’s preparedness to work on this project, which may be both familiar to her own experiences and foreign with regard to rurality. I thank the many families, friends, and colleagues who have supported me, especially on matters connected with the research contained in this book. You are too many to list individually, but my Ph.D. supervisors, Professors Jane Haggis and Susanne Schech, and all the amazing intellectual and formidable creativity of colleagues and friends at Yunggorendi First Nations Centre for Research and Higher Education especially Professor Simone Ululka Tur
