<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u2018As consequences of civilisation squeeze modernity in a death grip, connecting with the ancestral world, breaking out of our box of time, is perhaps the most radical act any of us can do.<\/p>\n In his startling manual Sand Talk: How Indigenous Thinking Can Save the World, <\/em>Tyson Yunkaporta describes five ways of seeing from an Aboriginal perspective \u2013 kinship mind, storytelling mind, dreaming mind, ancestor mind and pattern mind. All five help perceive the land and ourselves within it, kin with creatures, rivers, rocks and sky. This knowledge is embedded in ritual, storytelling and practice that hold communities and cultures together, so human beings can be \u2018custodial\u2019 for places and living beings. We have a thousand-year clean up ahead of us, Yunkaporta tells us, and generously hands us the imaginative tools to begin the work.\u2019 ~ Charlotte du Cann,<\/em> contributor to May 2022’s Rebel Library<\/em>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n To order this book from Hive online bookshop<\/strong>, click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n […]<\/p>\n
