This book explores the life of Alick Jackomos, dubbed an honorary
Koori at his funeral. The son of Greek migrant parents, Jackomos
was born in Collingwood, Australia, and grew up during the Great
Depression, mixing with people from a range of backgrounds. He was
at different times a welfare worker, an activist, a public servant
in Aboriginal affairs, an historian archivist, and a genealogist.
When he married the love of his life, Jackomos immersed himself in
the Victorian Aboriginal community. He became involved in
Aboriginal activism and had a long career in Aboriginal affairs as
a public servant. This man of little formal education collected a
remarkable photographic archive of Aboriginal Victorians and,
through his work with Aboriginal people, compiled over a thousand
intricate genealogies, which became a powerful tool for members of
the Aboriginal stolen generation. Loved by many, Jackomos's life
was not without controversy as he was a non-Aboriginal man with an
Aboriginal family
