NEW PUBLICATION: First nations knowledge on health
The First Knowledges series offers an introduction to Indigenous knowledges; the eighth book in the series, by Shawana Andrews, Sandra Eades and Fiona Stanley and edited by Margo Ngawa Neale, focuses on health. First Knowledges Health: Spirit, Country and Culture shows once again how much we can learn from the deeper past about defining and preserving health, the crucial role played by the community, and how both require an environmental approach.
