N2  - Bessy Flowers is a hero of mine, and I'm very glad she's at the centre of a book that features her images and writing, along with the remarkable journey to situate her in family and Country' - Kim Scott  Kia Kia, Noogiting Wirren, Minang Yorga, Minang Boodja  No Longer a Wandering Spirit acknowledges the sleeping spirit of Bessy Flowers, a Minang ancestor belonging to the Great Southern of Western Australia.  Bessy moved away from her Minang homeland in June 1867, never to return. She was a young Aboriginal woman, educated, musical, confident and hopeful.  On Thursday I wished I was going to Church instead of rocking about in the steamer…Often & often my thoughts fly to dear Albany.  Admired for a time, Bessy's esteemed qualities could not shield her from the injustices of colonial society.  I hope you will allow us to stay on this station it comes hard on the children and myself wandering about without a home…
