Indigenous sustainability
Watts, Margaret M.2013
Book
Indigenous people have been in Australia for many tens of thousands of years and during this time, Aboriginal people taught themselves how to live sustainably in Australia's fragile landscape. The continent, its landscapes and flora and fauna were managed, utilised and conserved. This book is meant to assist students in developing an understanding of sustainability, by looking at the relationships between environment, society and economy, and applying these concepts in specific contexts with an Indigenous perspective.
