TYSON YUNKAPORTA: Indigenous knowledge can save the world‪!‬ Wild with Sarah Wilson

Tyson Yunkaporta (Indigenous knowledge expert and renegade) is an Aboriginal scholar and founder of the Indigenous Knowledge Systems Lab at Melbourne’s Deakin University. His prize-winning book Sand Talk explains how Indigenous methods are best calibrated for resolving the complex global crises we face today and it’s attracted fawning attention in sensemaking, complexity and integral circles globally.
Tyson’s wild approach tips a stack of Western thinking on its head. He challenges…not just with ideas, but with the way, the how, of his knowledge sharing. We talk the IDW, wokism and red-pilling, but mostly how we in the West have forgotten how to read the patterns of the universe, which has seen Emu energy (narcissism) flourish, which then renders us unable to navigate complexity in an increasingly complex, multi-crisis world. This chat is big and challenging…so you know.
You can buy Sand Talk here and Tyson’s new book Right Story Wrong Story is out in October.
