An extraordinary book.
Paperback, 288 pages
en-Latn-AU language
Published Sept. 3, 2019 by Text Publishing Company.
This remarkable book is about everything from echidnas to evolution, cosmology to cooking, sex and science and spirits to Schrödinger’s cat.
Tyson Yunkaporta looks at global systems from an Indigenous perspective. He asks how contemporary life diverges from the pattern of creation. How does this affect us? How can we do things differently?
Sand Talk provides a template for living. It’s about how lines and symbols and shapes can help us make sense of the world. It’s about how we learn and how we remember. It’s about talking to everybody and listening carefully. It’s about finding different ways to look at things.
Most of all it’s about Indigenous thinking, and how it can save the world.

This was my favorite book of 2020 and it has continued to be the book that has most affected me, my thinking, and my life.

We need Indigenous wisdom
3 stars
Yarning about the ways of Indigenous knowledge. Insightful, sometimes impenetrable, with some bullshit. The barest exposure, but what next? How to incorporate this into our worldview?
