Whilst there are popular ideas about which champion Aboriginal environmental knowledge, many of these are based more on romantic notions than on any detailed understanding of what might be the content of this knowledge. This book is based on less well known details of Aboriginal knowledge and presents an assessment of rituals and practices.
Contents: Introduction; Aborigines as experts on the environment; What the 'experts' say; Contemporary Aboriginal voices; Traditional ways: the evidence of myths; Traditional ways: daily practices regarding food; Traditional ways; daily practices regarding fire, shelter and healing; Traditional ways; beyond the ego; Away from a world of unique truth (the question of comparison with science); Rational reverence; The real future eaters; Appendix; Bibliography; Index.
