FIRST KNOWLEDGES HEALTH

What does it take to sustain a people for over 65,000 years? The First Knowledges series delves into the expertise and wisdom of Indigenous Australians, showcasing how their wellbeing was deeply intertwined with the sacred lands of Mother Earth. This connection to Country and culture naturally fostered good health, a balance disrupted by colonisation. The book examines how Aboriginal knowledge is redefining health and wellbeing, covering Indigenous practices such as birthing and end-of-life care. Authors Shawana Andrews, Sandra Eades, and Fiona Stanley highlight the vital role of Aboriginal leadership and resilience in shaping future health practices.
