The First Astronomers: How Indigenous Elders Read the Stars by Duane Hamacher, Elders and Knowledge Holders

5.0

This is a pretty extraordinary primer to beginning to recognise the depth and breadth of Indigenous knowledges, and the integration of understandings that connects peoples with not only the world around them/us, but with the entire universe. Deeply respectful of the Elders and Knowledge Holders who have generously shared their teachings, Hamacher writes for a non-Indigenous audience to help loosen the grip of Eurological white-settler epistemology-supremacy, demonstrating that Euro/settler science is not the only way of knowing and very often not the best or most accurate way of knowing.
