Sand Talk with Tyson Yunkaporta

University Senior Lecturer Tyson Yunkaporta, an Indigenous person and member of the Apalech Clan, explores how Aboriginal perspectives can provide the paradigm shift needed to address global challenges. From his unique viewpoint, deeply tied to the natural and spiritual world, he raises important questions about how contemporary life diverges from the pattern of creation.

As an academic, arts critic, and researcher specializing in Indigenous Knowledges at Deakin University, Yunkaporta suggests that traditional wisdom offers crucial insights. His work demonstrates how Indigenous thinking can contribute to "saving the world" by fostering a more sustainable and connected future.
