Health: Spirit, Country and Culture

What do you need to know to prosper as a people for 65,000 years or more? The First Knowledges series provides a deep understanding of the expertise, wisdom and ingenuity of First Nations Australians.

For thousands of generations, good health occurred naturally because lifestyle and diet were connected to Country and culture. Colonisation damaged this connection, but much is being done to rebuild it.

'Health: Spirit, Country and Culture' explores concepts that are not tied to Western practices, as it delves into birthing, end-of-life care and other First Nations cultural rituals.  The authors show how First Nations knowledges and leadership foster a path for self-determined healthy futures.
