Summary Ngapartji/Ngapartji-meaning reciprocity and co-operation in Pitjantjatjara language-is an emotional, educational, effective and deeply affecting experience of indigenous history as told through Trevor Jamieson's-cocreator of the play-family, forebears and cultural traditions. Namatjira tells the moving story of Albert Namatjira, Australia's most famous Indigenous watercolour artist. His life story provides a valuable insight, not only into Australia's history, but into our modern-day relations with Indigenous people
