520    Were Australia's First People, the Aboriginals, just 
       hunter-gatherers who wandered haplessly from plant to 
       plant, kangaroo to kangaroo, living opportunistically on 
       an empty, uncultivated land? In this seminal book, Bruce 
       Pascoe uncovers evidence that long before the arrival of 
       white men, Aboriginal people across the continent were 
       building dams and wells; planting, irrigating, and 
       harvesting seeds, and then preserving the surplus and 
       storing it in houses, sheds, or secure vessels; and 
       creating elaborate cemeteries and manipulating the 
       landscape. All of these behaviours were inconsistent with 
       the hunter-gatherer tag, which turns out to have been a 
       convenient lie to justify dispossession. Using compelling 
       evidence from the records and diaries of early Australian 
       explorers and colonists, he reveals that Aboriginal 
       systems of food production and land management have been 
       blatantly understated in modern retellings of early 
       Aboriginal history, and that a new look at Australia's 
       past is required - for the benefit of all
