A beautiful book about the power of embracing indigenous wisdom alongside newer technologies and eurocentric systems of education. Darren Parry uses stories throughout the chapters to teach lessons and to communicate the value of the indigenous place based knowledge. This is a very inspiring and hopeful book to read in such today's political climate. How can we do more to build community with the people, plants, animals, water, sky, and earth around us?

A great look at the world and the potential if Indigenous voices were not only listened to but relied on for guidance. Parry explores all aspects of life, including education, land use, etc.
