Aboriginal biocultural knowledge in south-eastern Australia: perspectives of early colonists

Description

Unique IDLIB-00019963DateBetween 1st January 2018 and 31st December 2018Date qualifieryear onlyDescriptionIncludes index and bibliography (pp.285-321).
Indigenous Australians have long understood sustainable hunting and harvesting, seasonal changes in flora and fauna, predator-prey relationships and imbalances, and seasonal fire management. Yet the extent of their knowledge and expertise has been largely unknown and under-appreciated by non-Aboriginal colonists, especially in the south-east of Australia where Aboriginal culture was severely fractured. Aboriginal Biocultural Knowledge in South-eastern Australia is the first book to examine historical records from early colonists who interacted with south-eastern Australian Aboriginal communities and documented their understanding of the environment, natural resources such as water and plant and animal foods, medicine and other aspects of their material world.Copyright ownerFred Cahir, Ian D.
