Manuta Tunapee Puggalugglia
Publishing House

About Us.

Manuta Tunapee Puggaluggalia Tasmanian Aboriginal Historical Cultural Association and Publishing House comprises a collective of multiskilled and informed people with a committed reconciliation agenda.

We are an independent Tasmanian Aboriginal organisation whose aim is to educate and break down the stereotypes and misconceptions which now prevails within both the Tasmanian community and the broader community. 

In the past, people have been denied access to knowledge about Tasmania's diverse Aboriginal culture and history. The broader community is unaware that there are a number of separate individual Aboriginal communities in Tasmania, which have their own policies and guidelines and publish their own material.

Our aim is to share non-culturally sensitive information with educators and people interested in Tasmania's Traditional Aboriginal past. We offer Tasmanian Aboriginal cultural books, teaching resources, and other material dealing with Australian History and children's books.

Louise Farrell

Louise is a children's writer and historian. Years of experience as a teacher's aide and teaching children to story write have given Louise an insight into what children like. Her belief is that children should enjoy learning and that history can be fun to learn. She understands how obscure snippets of history hold the interest of children, and encourages them to want to know more. When teaching story writing it was always the different and unusual pieces that the children remembered or wanted to know more about. Louise found that it a way of encouraging research skills in the students.
