always was, always will be: non fiction edition
The many and varied Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures from the lands, waters and skies known today as 'Australia' are, collectively, the oldest continuing culture in the world. Sick, huh? The knowledge and wisdom held and passed down by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples is important, necessary and timeless. If you are looking to decolonise your thinking, what better way than learning from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander voices?
