About this Event

First Knowledges Health: Spirit, Country and Culture

by Shawana Andrews, Sandra Eades and Fiona Stanley

The First Knowledges series offers an introduction to Indigenous knowledges in vital areas and their application to the present day and the future. Exploring practices such as songlines, architecture, design, land management, plants, astronomy and law, this series brings together two very different ways of understanding the world: one ancient and ongoing, the other modern. The eighth book focuses on health and wellbeing.





In our 150th year, hear from authors of books that centre around First Nations Healing practices, innovators and leaders in medicine and social change to M**der mysteries and novels grounded in medical history. These autobiographies, biographies and flights of fancy will inspire and amaze as fact is sometimes more surprising than fiction.
