Sand Talk : How Indigenous Thinking Can Save the World

Sand Talk: How Indigenous Thinking Can Save the World by Tyson Yunkaporta examines contemporary global systems of money, power, education, and history through an Indigenous Australian lens.

Drawing on traditional knowledge and using lines, symbols, and shapes as a framework for understanding, Yunkaporta explores how far modern life has diverged from more sustainable patterns of living and offers alternative approaches to some of today's most pressing problems.

Ranging across topics from echidnas to cosmology, from science to spirituality, the book is both a critique of western systems and an invitation to listen, engage in dialogue, and see the world in new ways.
