REID, Brian 2020
The book covers the period of the South Australian Government administration of the Northern Territory and the conflicting roles of the Protector of the Aborigines and Medical Officer. The relationship of the Protector with the Government in South Australia and in the Northern Territory was a difficult one. The book traces a contest that developed between the Resident and the Protector which became increasingly aggravated by the shifting concept of protection.
The Historical Society of the Northern Territory acknowledges the Larrakia people, the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the land on which History House stands, and acknowledges their continuing connection to land, sea, and community. We pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging.
