This is the story of Australian Aboriginals who expose their
precious ranga, totems which hold the secrets of the world,
to the eyes of white Australians, in the belief that the white
world in return will exchange its own wisdom and its technology
"What did those elders want us to learn by the sight of the ranga? What ranga did they expect to be shown in answer? What great gifts did they want from us? What armistice between old and new did they hope to bring about? What adjustment of the equilibrium of the world did they seek? So that Bullie's house and all their houses could go on standing?"
