About the Book

Journey Home to Old Mapoon is a memoir by Australian Aboriginal elder, Dr. May O'Brien. The book tells the story of May's life, from her childhood in the remote Aboriginal community of Old Mapoon, to her work as a doctor and advocate for Aboriginal rights.

May was born in Old Mapoon in 1935. Her early life was spent in a traditional Aboriginal community, where she learned the language, culture, and traditions of her people. In the 1950s, May was forcibly removed from her community and sent to a mission school.

The mission school was a difficult experience for May. She was punished for speaking her language and practicing her culture. She was also subjected to racism and discrimination.

Despite the challenges she faced, May persevered. She went on to become a nurse and then a doctor. She also became a leading advocate for Aboriginal rights.

In Journey Home to Old Mapoon, May tells the story of her life with honesty and passion. She shares her experiences of racism, discrimination, and resilience. She also shares her hopes and dreams for the future of the Aboriginal people.

Journey Home to Old Mapoon is a powerful and moving account of the resilience and strength of the Aboriginal people. It is a must-read for anyone interested in Australian history and culture.
