Portrait of an Aboriginal woman 'Teenminnie', in profile, carrying her small child on her back, both wrapped in a kangaroo skin cloak, and she has a walking stick. A later caption provides the name 'Narahminyerie'. She was the first Aboriginal woman convert to Christianity. Photographer was probably Captain Samuel Sweet and the location was probably in Point McLeay Region. |
