There's a few books in this house that sit on the "reread bits" stack permanently, and this is one of them. There are so many coloured tags sticking out of my copy it looks like it's growing something, and in a way it is.

Very pointed and frequently subversive Yunkaporta's voice in this one is incredibly strong, powerful and just ever so slightly sarcastic at points. It's funny, it's generous, and it's educational. So lives up to the subtitle "How Indigenous Thinking Can Save the World". I mean I have no idea why we would for a moment think that a culture and people that have survived and thrived (up until we arrived with our diseases and our European thinking) in a harsh and difficult country like this one would not have lots and lots and lots of wisdom, insight and learning to pass on. Well, let's face it, I do. And I will continue to dip into this book, particularly when the white world screws it up again, and again and again. Much like now, right at this point in history, when history is something so many people are happily ignoring. To say nothing of future planning.
