Present Tense People

What's it like to live as a young First Nations Australian in the 21st century? Present Tense People is a collection of stories by five young First Nations Australians. Koort, an employee of a mining magnate, Birrala, a nurse, Indiya, an education student, Thuwarri, an archaeology student and Warranany, a recent school graduate all share a common bond of First Nations ancestry, a deep connection to country and hope for a better future. However, their lives are also linked by ancestral and intergenerational grief, stereotypes and racism. Inspirational, real and honest, these stories set in five different regions of Australia, have the power to challenge and possibly change your ideas about Australia's history and what it means to be a First Nations warrior living in the present tense.
