Author Talk: Dr. Wayne Atkinson
Join us as Dr. Wayne Atkinson presents and speaks about his new book "Beyond the Meeting of the Waters: A Yorta Yorta Life Story".
Yorta Yorta Elder Dr. Wayne Atkinson’s storyline begins, like thousands of generations before him, on the banks of a river. But it would take him to the halls of higher learning and a lifetime of activism to further the empowerment of his people.
An essential voice of his generation, Dr. Atkinson has been at the forefront of Aboriginal cultural renaissance in Victoria since the 1980s, and his advocacy for human rights has contributed to widespread reform.
