Can indigenous thinking save the world? Tyson Yunkaporta’s new book ‘Sand Talk’ explores this question and is making a big impact. A senior lecturer in Indigenous Knowledges at Deakin University in Melbourne, Tyson is a member of the Apalech Clan in far north Queensland.
In conversation with Rebel Wisdom’s Alexander Beiner, he explains how looking back on Western civilisation from an indigenous perspective opens up a new way to look at everything from the economy and government to complexity theory and the culture wars.
With a unique blend of humour, theory and indigenous knowledge, he provides an important new perspective on some of the biggest issues we’ve covered on the channel.
