Biting the Clouds *remove*: A Badtjala perspective on The Aboriginals Protection and Restriction of the Sale of Opium Act, 1897

Fiona Foley embarks on a profound exploration of the historical impact of the Aboriginals Protection and Restriction of the Sale of Opium Act, 1897, through a Badtjala lens. Her analysis weaves together personal narrative and historical research, revealing the intergenerational trauma brought about by colonial legislation.

Using her unique artistic perspective, Foley critiques the policies that affected Indigenous lives and examines the complexities surrounding identity, displacement, and resilience. This work not only sheds light on a forgotten chapter of Australian history but also serves as a powerful testament to the enduring spirit of the Badtjala people and their fight for recognition and justice.
