Health Business: A Report for the Central Australian Aboriginal Congress
by Pam Nathan and Dick Lechleitner Japanangka
Health Busi
ness outlines the history of Aboriginal contact with European health care delivery in Central Australia, and the interface between traditional ‘bush’ health care and European health care. Pam Nathan worked with Dick Lechleitner Japanangka, a Central Australian Aboriginal leader, in talking to the Aboriginal people and learning about their ways and their attitudes to health and health care delivery.
The book provides an analysis of health services in the 1980s in Central Australia, both Aboriginal and European, through accounts from the providers and the recipients. As such, it is both a fascinating insight into the lives of the Aboriginal people and a valuable resource for those working or studying in the areas of health, sociology, anthropology and Aboriginal studies.

Settle Down Country
by Pam Nathan and Dick Lechleitner Japanangka
The movem
ent of the Aboriginal people to reoccupy their ancestral lands, away from the government settlements, is told in this book. The reaction of government authorities to the movement is compared with the needs of the people, as told by Aboriginal people themselves. This book shows how Aborigines were prevailed upon to leave their lands under the policies of assimilation and in the interests of the development of the tourist industry at Uluru and the Woomera rocket range. It asks that white Australians join with Aboriginal people in the fulfilment of their rightful claims.
