Gill's purpose is to get as close as possible to the perceptions and beliefs of these indigenous peoples by stripping away the layers of European interpretation and construction. His technique involves comparing the versions of aboriginal texts presented in academic reports with the text versions as they appear in each report's cited sources. The comparison helps reveal the extent to which the text is transformed throughAboriginal AustraliansAustralia, CentralFolkloreTalesAustraliaCentral AustraliaHistory and criticismMythology, Aboriginal AustralianAustraliaCentral AustraliaAboriginal AustraliansTalesHistory and criticism.Mythology, Aboriginal Australian306.0899915Gill Sam D.1943-1019996MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996247979603316Storytracking2408302UNISA
