Opis: Illustrated with photographs Lithrop, Lee & Shepard Co. NY 1969, str. 128 + obwoluta stan db- (podniszczona obwoluta, pieczatki pobiblioteczne - wycofana, otarcia wyklejki) ISBN The dark-skinned aboriginal tribes living in Australia when the English came there in the eighteenth century had inhabited that continent for over 20,000 years. Still living in the Stone Age, these Aborigines survived solely by hunting, fishing, and food gathering. Going far back into their past, the author describes family life, tribal customs, cult practices, and racial characteristics of these Aus-traloids. She tells how aboriginal boys and girls grew to maturity, learning to subsist on what their natural environment provided and learning the social demands of a tribal culture. Today the Australian government is setting up programs .to educate the Aborigines and help them to become full-fledged citizens. But civilization has not always been so kind to them, a fact which is exhibited in their diminished numbers. Of the original 300,000, today there are 76,000 part-Aborigines and 45,000 full-blooded Aborigines (a small number of whom still live in the tribal state). In the nine- teenth century they were in danger of dying out, but recently they have begun to show an increase. With the current government and public interest in them, many fascinating things are being discovered about the Aborigines—familiarity with their art, myths, customs, and philosophy could add enrichment to a technological age. Consulting with anthropologists in Australia, Mrs. Hoyt has written a lively as well as authoritative account which young people will enjoy. Photographs show the Australian Aborigines engaged in ceremonials, preparing to hunt, working on government sponsored farms, studying in school, and include examples of their art. Olga Hoyt is the author of four children's books, including The Bedouins for Lothrop. During World War II, she worked abroad as a news editor for the Office of War Infomation. She has been a researcher for Time magazine and has assisted with research for books by her husband, Edwin P. Hoyt. The Hoyts have a son and two daughters. They live in Annapolis, Maryland, and spend summers in Bomoseen, Vermont.
