Burning the truck and holding the country: property, time, and the negotiation identity among Pintupi Aborigines

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter

Abstract

If they are not given their shares, this denies their kinship. A man’s variegated relationships with others run through his chattels as well as his land; and the measure of how far he feels the correct sentiments in those relationships is the way he deals with his property and his produce (Gluckman 1965: 45).
