It is the book 'Mutant Message Downunder' by Marlo Morgan. Although there have been claims this book is a work of fiction, however the reader is clearly led to believe it is an actual experience. Please visit the following websites, mostly written by Aboriginal people, that clearly explain the situation. Please consider removing the book from your list. http://www.ilnarratore.com/voices/collection/morgan/morgan.html http://www.mq.edu.au/house_of_aboriginality/marloweb/contact.html http://www.west.com.au/reviews/morgan/ Lisa Powell

On a site with over 2 gigs of content and personal user space, no it isn't. Always include a URL or some indication of where the material is when contacting any site. It is a big help. : What action, if any, are you going to take? That is up to the user I cc'd, as it is their personal web space. Ask them, not me.

Australia is well known for their racist views on their indignous people. Blaise We are the people our parents warned us about http://www.attrition.org/~geekgrl
