About this book

"A tireless advocate on behalf of Aborginal people, Charles Duguid was true to his name. He founded the Ernabella Mission in 1937, a mission widely regarded as one of the most culturally sensitive ever established. In the post-war period, he sought ways to help Aboriginal people assimilate, and gained noteriety for the uncompromising stand he took against plans for the Woomera rocket range. He adopted an Aboriginal child. Duguid also actively cultivated his 'great man' image, which helped him to win support for his causes from government and other influential bodies. This book is a study of a remarkable man and his work"--Back cover.
