Sand Talk: How Indigenous Thinking Can Save the World

What would happen if we shifted our mechanized, modern gaze to one that included the natural and spiritual world? Yunkaporta brings a crucial Indigenous perspective to Sand Talk, exploring how we can do things differently and live better lives. Through sand talk, the Aboriginal custom of drawing images on the ground to convey knowledge, and mind-expanding words, Yunkaporta discusses his cultural maps, designs, lines, native history & animals, and stories—often using a mindset outside of the usual academic "oral history" fetishism. Many beautiful spot illustrations/indigenous maps. Meet the book that Tommy Orange calls "so smart, funny, and accessible. Everyone needs to read this.”
