People on Country Vital Landscapes Indigenous Futures draws on a diversity of perspectives to document a significant social and environmental movement that is quietly gathering momentum. This series of essays, drawn from an unusual collaboration between university researchers and Indigenous land owners, tells a little-known story about Aboriginal people who are living on, working on and caring for the lands and seas that they own and manage, an Indigenous estate that covers over 20 per cent of the Australian continent and includes areas of globally significant biodiversity and cultural value.
People on Country Vital Landscapes Indigenous Futures seeks to reposition Indigenous people and their caring for country activities from the margins to the very core of the growing national conversation.
