Given by the ancestors and cultivated over millennia, Indigenous law defines what it is to be human. Complex and evolving, law holds the keys to resilient, caring communities and a life in balance with nature.<br>Marcia Langton and Aaron Corn show how Indigenous law has enabled people to survive and thrive in Australia for more than 2000 generations. Nurturing people and places, law is the foundation of all Indigenous societies in Australia, giving them the tools to respond and adapt to major environmental and social changes. But law is not a thing of the past. These living, sophisticated systems are as powerful now as they have ever been, if not more so.</p><p>*Innovation<br>First Nations Australians are some of the oldest innovators in the world. Original developments in social and religious activities, trading strategies, technology and land-management are underpinned by philosophies that strengthen sustainability of Country and continue to be utilised today.<br>Innovation: Knowledge and Ingenuity reveals novel and creative practices such as: body shaping; cremation; sea hunting with the help of suckerfish; building artificial reefs for oyster farms; repurposing glass from Europeans into spearheads; economic responses to colonisation; and a Voice to Parliament.<br>—-</p><p>(another, very readable Indigenous author to look for is <a href="https://aus.social/tags/TysonYunkaporta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TysonYunkaporta</span></a>)</p><p><a href="https://thamesandhudson.com.au/the-first-knowledges-series/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">thamesandhudson.com.au/the-fir</span><span class="invisible">st-knowledges-series/</span></a></p>
