In the 1920s, under contract to the University of Adelaide, he was commissioned to collect traditional Aboriginal stories from around South Australia. He also acted as a collector for the Aborigines Friends Association. Most of the stories come from his own Ngarrindjeri people, but some are from other South Australian peoples. The stories were published in 1930 as Myths and Legends of the Australian Aboriginals, but the author of the work was given as W. Ramsay Smith, FRS, anthropologist and Chief Medical Officer of South Australia. Unaipon s name does not appear anywhere in the book, except where he is mentioned in passing as a narrator . In putting together this new edition of the stories Unaipon collected and transcribed, Stephen Muecke and Adam Shoemaker have undertaken a literary repatriation , restoring the text to its original form and bringing it home to its community the community to whom the stories belonged in the first place. --Book Depository"
