The title Many Maps, Charting Two Cultures, looks at the way two
contrasting societies often misunderstood each other in the western
third of Australia. Maps can be drawn and interpreted in different
ways. It is possible to map a path through life, find a way through
a forest, traverse a desert or chart a sense of self and guide
one's relationship to the natural world. Australia's First Nations
mapped their world in terms of a spiritual and environmental
relationship to country and an animate sense of being. The maps in
European heads often explored ways to obtain wealth from the
Australian earth. Many Maps traces both misunderstandings, and
sometimes sensitive understandings of land and culture in a
continent that we both inhabit.
