First Nations Australians are some of the oldest innovators in the world, with novel creations underpinned by philosophies that strengthen sustainability of Country and continue to be utilised today.

'Innovation: Knowledge and Ingenuity' reveals practices such as body shaping, sea hunting with the help of suckerfish, building artificial reefs for oyster farms, repurposing European glass into spearheads, economic responses to colonisation and a Voice to Parliament.

In the first book to detail Indigenous innovations in Australia, Ian J McNiven and Lynette Russell showcase this legacy of First Nations peoples, describing resourceful ways of dealing with contemporary challenges that can benefit us all.
