What do you need to know to prosper as a people for at least 65,000 years? The First Knowledges series provides a deeper understanding of the expertise and ingenuity of Indigenous Australians. The health of Australia's First Peoples is grounded within the sacred lands of Mother Earth. For thousands of generations Country and culture have sustained communities, but in recent times this connection has become damaged. Medicine explores the vision and knowledges with which Aboriginal people are re-shaping considerations of health and wellbeing today. This book offers concepts that are not tied to Western practices. It delves into Indigenous birthing, end-of-life care and other cultural rituals; highlights the critical role of Aboriginal leadership and Eldership in decision making about health care; and explores the strength and longevity of Aboriginal resistance and resilience. Through storytelling, research and health practice, the authors show how Aboriginal knowledges foster a path for self-determined healthy futures.
