In the weeks ahead, I invite you to revisit some past episodes. Taking this time to reflect allows us to gauge their relevance in today's world.One of these episodes, from Episode 18 of The B-side, features a captivating conversation with Tyson Yunkaporta—an academic, art critic, researcher, and author from the Apalech Clan in far north Queensland. Tyson delves into indigenous wisdom and knowledge systems as shared in his book "Sand Talk."While this episode doesn't explicitly address Australia's "Voice to Parliament," it intriguingly offers a unique opportunity to delve into indigenous culture and knowledge systems, shedding light on their lasting significance. It underlines the value of sitting alongside others, truly listening to their stories, and showing respect for differing opinions and thoughts—regardless of whether we agree. At its core, this mindset highlights the idea that every one of us contributes to this narrative, thus enriching its tapestry.As Australians continue to engage in ongoing discussions that will inevitably shape our culture and collective future, some may find this episode to be a thought-provoking reminder of the depth of indigenous wisdom. By drawing from indigenous perspectives, we may contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of the diverse range of viewpoints that exist.Join me in rediscovering the treasures within Tyson's book "Sand Talk" and gain new insights and respect for diverse perspectives.

This week we are rebroadcasting our interview with Tyson Yunkaporta originally aired in May of 2021. Struggling to change actual conditions, many have settled for changing the perceptions of the world around us. Tyson Yunkaporta begins by sharing the connections between perception, the branding of our identities, and the many forms of capital that become available and valuable in a perception-obsessed society. As we welcome the call to change our conditions and participate in the great “thousand-year clean-up”, we explore hybridized insight, the ramifications of clinging to dichotomous identities, and how genuine diversity is tangible preparedness and emotional resilience in motion. With this in mind, it becomes our task to figure out how we can sustain genuine diversity in our lives so we may work alongside folks with different capacities, worldviews, solutions, and thought processes in devotion to dismantling a system that necessitates abuse. Tyson Yunkaporta is an academic, an arts critic, and a researcher who belongs to the Apalech Clan in far north Queensland. He carves traditional tools and weapons and also works as a senior lecturer in Indigenous Knowledges at Deakin University in Melbourne.Music by 40 Million Feet, Marty O'Reilly & the Old Soul Orchestra, and Violet Bell. Visit our website at forthewild.world for the full episode description, references, and action points.Support the show

With Tyson Yunkaporta & Joe Martin (Tutakwisnapšiƛ). Today we're joined by two master indigenous scholars and artists, who will be laying down clues from their ancestral cultures on how to interpret and read the laws of the land. Our first conversation is what he likes to call a yarn, with Tyson Yunkporta, Aboriginal scholar, founder of the Indigenous Knowledge Systems Lab at Deakin University in Melbourne, and member of the Apalech Clan in far north Queensland, Australia. Tyson is the author of the book Sand Talk which was wildly successful, and I reckon part of its popularity is the way that Tyson is able to pack in such punchy wisdom along with his sharp-witted, trickster humor. We discuss how their lab collects data and knowledge through a very special indigenous sense-making protocol, and then applies it to issues like economic reform, broken landscapes, cyber safety and neuroscience. We delve into the importance of engaging with place, why a real ceremony is not all fun and games, and how the west can quit longing and start acting in rediscovering its own indigeneity. We'll then visit wisdom holder and elder Joe Martin, who will be speaking to us from British Columbia. Joe is a member of the Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation and is a master canoe and totem pole carver, with over seventy canoes having been whittled and chiselled away by his hands. Just earlier this July, he and his community raised a new totem pole in ceremony at the ancient village of Opitsaht which depicts his family's teachings of natural law. I've uploaded videos of the totem poles in the show notes, where you can see how each pole carries millennia old myths, stories and teachings about the human relationship with forces like the bear, wolf, raven, sun, moon and stars. I hope that both of these conversations will entice you to uncover and excavate your own family lineage, all the brimming folk tales and myths and lifeworlds held by your people and the land where your blood and cosmologies sprouted from.

A delightful yarn with Tyson Yunkporta, Aboriginal scholar, founder of the Indigenous Knowledge Systems Lab at Deakin University in Melbourne, and author of Sand Talk. Tyson is a member of the Apalech Clan in far north Queensland, Australia. On this episode we discuss: How their systems lab aggregates data and knowledge through indigenous sense-making protocols “Avatar Depression” syndrome and how the West may begin to remember its own aboriginal knowledge How giving names to nature can either kill, or create kinship The role of ceremony in maintaining energy flows.. And why ceremony isn't always such an enjoyable matter! Why baramundi is not the correct name for a saltwater fish, and why biomimicry doesn't work quite as well as we may think How land seen as capital becomes a dying land And finally, what happens when the dress rehearsal for an epic ceremony actually becomes the real thing!

This entertainingly honest conversation between Tyson Yunkaporta and Jim Rutt discusses how indigenous learnings can help liberate the democratic institutions of today.

On this episode of "Death in The Garden," we share an interview we recorded over the summer and never released. It turns out that it was the perfect moment for us to revisit this wonderful conversation we had with Tyson Yunkaporta, member of the Apalech Clan, author of Sand Talk: How Indigenous Thinking Can Save the World and lecturer of Indigenous Knowledges at Deakin University. We talk about  how civilization is defined by the exportation of entropy through open loop systems, the financialization of climate action, the relationship of being, dying, and being reintegrated into a landscape, the similarities between communism and capitalism, the inherent unsustainability of the way we're all living our lives, the 1000 year clean-up and the actual plight of the millennial/gen-z generations, the emergent cultures of transition, and the importance of finding humor and laughter in these perilous times. We hope this conversation lifts your spirits as it has lifted ours. While sobering, the honesty and humor of this conversation is so refreshing and generative – just what we all need right now!

They talk through the power of play, mining the margins, and what indigenous peoples have known that modern people are rediscovering. They discuss Black Rock City, Regional events, and the impact of Gifting, Radical Inclusion, and the ‘wrong' white people. They explore ideas that are uncommon and uncomfortable: · the ethics of creating spaces where magic is more likely to happen· taking art back from the priestly class to restore balance to the world· how Burning Man has maintained integrity, if it even has... Deakin.edu.au: Dr Tyson YunkaportaSand Talk: How Indigenous Thinking Can Save the World (Harper Collins Publishing)Beer with Bella: Tyson Yunkaporta (New York Times)Turn Your Life Into Art by Caveat Magister (Burning Man Journal)Excerpts from “Turn Your Life Into Art” by Caveat Magister (medium)The Scene That Became Cities (Penguin Random House Publishing)Burning Man Journal: Caveat MagisterFascinating Stranger

It often feels like contemporary life diverges from everything that actually matters. Our global economic system could not be less in touch with patterns of creation, natural systems, and the real wealth of healthy soil, clear water, and bonded communities. Of course, it hasn't always been this way — and it doesn't have to continue to be. In this conversation, or yarn, we speak with Tyson Yunkaporta of the Apalech Clan in far north Queensland, Australia, about the connections between Indigenous economics, complexity theory, and systems thinking. We also discuss caring for the commons, explore how to hold each other accountable, and hear the story of the world's first corporation. Tyson carves traditional tools and weapons, works as a senior lecturer in Indigenous Knowledges at Deakin University in Melbourne, and recently authored the book Sand Talk: How Indigenous Thinking Can Save the World.

Welcome to another episode of the DNA Of Purpose Podcast.A few weeks ago a friend of mine sent me a book saying that I just had to have today's guest on the podcast. After having a read through his book I wholeheartedly agreed, as did the rest of our team at Future Crunch. The guest is Dr Tyson Yunkaporta and the book Sand Talk: How Indigenous Thinking Can Save the World.As someone who has spent 15 years mastering the art of business influence, when I picked up the book I was excited about this interview for two reasons. Firstly, of all of the incredible people I have spoken to throughout this podcast, I was yet to interview a voice representing the innate wisdom and knowledge of Australia's Indigenous people.The other reason is personal. As someone who has spent the last 15 years decoding what makes a personal message influential, I always find it interesting to talk to people who have found a niche area of specialisation that somehow bridges the gap between two completely different worlds to create new stories and perspectives. And in this case, a perspective that has the power to provide the solutions that humankind needs at this point in history more so than ever before.Tyson Yukanporta has done just that, and yet at the same time having read his book and now spoken to him in person - despite today being a thought-provoking change-maker - He is humble, authentic and his approach is grounded and pragmatic.So who is this wise sage? Tyson belongs to the Apalech Clan from Western Cape York and is a senior lecturer in Indigenous Knowledge at Deakin University. He has worked extensively with Aboriginal languages and in Indigenous education, and his research activities on oral histories of natural disasters, language, health and cognition. He is a published poet and exhibited artist who practices traditional wood carving.In his book, Sand Talk: How Indigenous Thinking Can Save the World, he covers everything from echidnas to evolution, cosmology to cooking, sex and science. The book explores how lines, symbols and shapes can help us make sense of the world - and yes we explore how that works today.We also chatted about the feasibility of Indigenous thinking as the solution to modern world problems like climate change.We discussed the chasm between ancient indigenous ways of life and the contemporary world. We explore why as Australians some of us look to Indigenous peoples as cultural confetti at events, as opposed to wise mentors and advisors who can ultimately help us save the planet.We explore the power of story as the bedrock of indigenous thinking and so much more.So as always, kick back and get ready to dive into the application of ancient wisdom with a future focus with Dr Tyson Yukanporta. Welcome to the podcast.

Tyson is also the author of the world-view reconfiguring book 'Sand Talk' which served as the basis of our conversation. In the book, Tyson explores our global systems from an Aboriginal perspective and how this viewpoint could help us resolve some of the complex sustainability issues facing our world.In our conversation we cover:The indigenous notion of story and the problem with the narrative at the heart of Western civilisationThe value in true diversity, identity, and placeViolence and the need for its integration in societyWhy instead of pursuing growth we should seek 'increase'The need for humanity to retake our place as custodians of the land we're connected to.EPISODE LINKSTyson's Deakin University pageBook: Sand Talk‍Tyson's Podcast: The Other OthersVideo: Why the Indigenous Knowledge Systems Lab mattersSUPPORT:Contribute to coffee fundBack me on IdeamarketRate Talk of Today on Apple PodcastsPODCAST INFOPodcast WebsiteFollow Sam on TwitterSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/talk-of-today/donations

If material, economic growth is merely an illusion within a closed-loop system, what does it mean to re-orient towards the growth of intimacy, depth, complexity, and diversity? What does "Indigenous thinking" mean, if not some monolithic, prescriptive way of seeing the world? In this episode, we welcome Dr. Tyson Yunkaporta, an academic, an arts critic, and a researcher who is a member of the Apalech Clan in far north Queensland. He carves traditional tools and weapons and also works as a senior lecturer in Indigenous Knowledges at Deakin University in Melbourne. Dr. Yunkaporta is the author of Sand Talk: How Indigenous Thinking Can Save The World.

Tyson Yunkaporta is an academic, an arts critic, and a researcher who is a member of the Apalech Clan in far north Queensland. He carves traditional tools and weapons and also works as a senior lecturer in Indigenous Knowledges at Deakin University in Melbourne where he currently lives. His book Sand Talk was published in 2019 to resounding acclaim.  The paradigm-shifting book brings a crucial Indigenous perspective to historical and cultural issues of history, education, money, power, and sustainability - and offers a new template for living. As an indigenous person, Tyson Yunkaporta looks at global systems from a unique perspective, one tied to the natural and spiritual world. In considering how contemporary life diverges from the pattern of creation, he raises important questions. How does this affect us? How can we do things differently? In this thoughtful, culturally rich, mind-expanding book, he provides answers. Yunkaporta's writing process begins with images. Honoring indigenous traditions, he makes carvings of what he wants to say, channeling his thoughts through symbols and diagrams rather than words. He yarns with people, looking for ways to connect images and stories with place and relationship to create a coherent world view, and he uses sand talk, the Aboriginal custom of drawing images on the ground to convey knowledge.  In Sand Talk , he provides a new model for our everyday lives. Rich in ideas and inspiration, it explains how lines and symbols and shapes can help us make sense of the world. It's about how we learn and how we remember. It's about talking to everyone and listening carefully. It's about finding different ways to look at things. Most of all it's about a very special way of thinking, of learning to see from a native perspective, one that is spiritually and physically tied to the earth around us, and how it can save our world. 

On today's episode we're talking with Tyson Yunkaporta, author of “Sand Talk: How Indigenous Thinking Can Save the World.” Tyson is a senior lecturer in Indigenous Knowledges at Deakin University in Melbourne and is a member of the Apalech clan in Queensland, Australia. "Sand Talk" explains how the teachings of aboriginal culture can help us imagine a way to a sustainable future by emphasizing community and connection over individualism and fragmentation, and by cultivating respect for the land. In this episode, we talk about how even when Western cultures seek out indigenous knowledges, they lack a framework to be able to understand what they're being offered. Indigenous thinking, according to Tyson, is relational. It requires long term connection and commitment to the community and the land. It's not just about using didgeridoos, or smudge sticks, (or wands and cauldrons as the case may be), it's about engaging with a larger matrix of connectivity that is the TRUE essence of indigenous thinking and way of life..

Although it is not described as such anywhere in the book, Sand Talk: How Indigenous Thinking Can Save the World (HarperOne, 2021) is indeed a systems-thinking book—one that offers a much-needed fresh perspective. Tyson Yunkaporta stands on the shoulders of who we should consider the original systems thinkers: Indigenous elders—the keepers & teachers of ancient knowledge—to show us that by “emphasizing community and connection over individualism and fragmentation—and by cultivating respect for the land—we can address the urgent challenges we face”.  Readers of systems literature will notice familiar themes such as non-linearity, complexity, cause-and-effect and the role of the observer in a system. Each chapter of this paradigm-shifting book starts with some yarning and 'sand talk'— invoking an Aboriginal custom of drawing images on the ground to convey knowledge. The table of contents is a beautiful compilation of Yunkaporta's sand talk carving illustrations. Tyson Yunkaporta offers that there is much to be learned from Indigenous 'knowledge systems', but expressses worry about borrowed ideas getting "tangled and twisted in marketplace of civilization"—and suggests that "symbiotic dances" must instead occur between Indigenous and non-Indigenous systems. The result of such an "interaction of multitude of agents in a sustainable system of emergent entities" could be positive and productive. Tyson Yunkaporta is an arts critic, and researcher—and a member of the Apalech Clan in far north Queensland. He carves traditional tools and weapons and also works as a senior lecturer in Indigenous Knowledges at Deakin University in Melbourne, Australia. This is his first book.

Struggling to change actual conditions, many have settled for changing the perceptions of the world around us. On this week’s episode, guest Tyson Yunkaporta begins by sharing the connections between perception, the branding of our identities, and the many forms of capital that become available and valuable in a perception-obsessed society. As we welcome the call to change our conditions and participate in the great “thousand-year clean-up”, we explore hybridized insight, the ramifications of clinging to dichotomous identities, and how genuine diversity is tangible preparedness and emotional resilience in motion. With this in mind, it becomes our task to figure out how we can sustain genuine diversity in our lives so we may work alongside folks with different capacities, worldviews, solutions, and thought processes in devotion to dismantling a system that necessitates abuse.

This week I enjoyed a far-ranging yarn with Tyson Yunkaporta – member of the Apalech Clan, Senior Lecturer in Indigenous Knowledge at Deakin University and author of the book Sand Talk: How Indigenous Thinking Can Save the World (which he’s suggests you shouldn’t buy but borrow from a friend). In this conversation we cover a lot of ground including the impact of an extraction economy, the rise and fall of civilisations and where we are in the that cycle, a deeper history of Britain, ask where the grown-ups have gone, our trajectory from the printing press, systems, the 1000 year clean up and much more. I also learnt a huge amount about Western Australia, seeing it from a different perspective. Tyson mixes his wealth and depth of knowledge together with his great sense of humour and openness to share to make for a great yarn that will take you on a journey.

Of all the 17 episodes of this podcast so far, this is the one that I had to go off somewhere quiet afterwards for a while to digest. It is a very powerful and fascinating discussion. My two guests are extraordinary, and I feel so blessed that they could make the time to join me in this wonderful What If exploration.   Sherri Mitchell (Weh'na Ha'mu' Kwasset (She Who Brings the Light)) is an attorney, an activist, an advisor, a speaker and so so so much more, including author of ‘Sacred Instructions: indigenous wisdom for living spirit-based change'. She was born and raised on the Penobscot Indian Reservation.   Tyson Yunkaporta is an academic, an arts critic, and a researcher who belongs to the Apalech Clan in far north Queensland. He carves traditional tools and weapons and also works as a senior lecturer in Indigenous Knowledges at Deakin University in Melbourne. His recent book, Sand Talk: how indigenous thinking can save the world, is deeply wonderful and I am very much enjoying it right now.   Our discussion focused around the question ‘what if indigenous wisdom could save the world?', and I hope it blows your mind as much as it did mine. I would recommend taking some time after you've listened to it to go for a walk and digest it. It worked for me.   Please consider supporting the podcast by visiting www.patreon.com/fromwhatiftowhatnext and becoming a patron.

Tyson Yunkaporta is the author of Sand Talk: Changing the World Through Indigenous Knowledge. Admittedly cheeky, Tyson's goal with the book is to provoke thought and encourage conversations. In my meandering podcast with him, we end up on a virtual walkabout that weaves in and out of the book topics with our own stories and commentary. I came across his book because of a Shamanism course I am taking and I devoured it in one night! The book is as engaging as Tyson is in this conversation.

In this evocative conversation we explore how we can embrace diverse narratives as part of a collective worldview, how story and dialogue can offer pathways to healing and deeper understanding of our human culture..- The existential threat of the domestication of humans as akin to “feedlot pigs.”- Significance of yarning in human culture.- Building relationships and trust as a way to help us imagine the world we want to live in.- How we've diverged from this law of the land and how memory, story and connection to place can bring us back.- How fostering space for “organic emergence” is one of the most important things we can do in facing the problems of our world today.- The illusory nature of ‘hope,' and what attitudes can actually help us at this time.

As an indigenous person of the Apalech Clan in Australia, Tyson Yunkaporta has experience hunting and tracking beyond the reductionist practice that includes “skills” and “knowledge”. Rather, he discusses how to become more connected to the land, one with the land, and part of it rather than an observer or bystander that must impose our will. This second part of the interview with Tyson Yunkaporta is especially important for anyone looking to re-connect to Earth and all that means mentally, spiritually, emotionally, and physically.

Tyson Yunkaporta is the author of award-winning book, Sand Talk: How Indigenous Thinking Can Save the World, and a Senior Lecturer in Indigenous Knowledges at Deakin University in Melbourne. He's also a poet and artist carving traditional tools and weapons, processes that were central to writing the book. Tyson belongs to the Apalech Clan from Western Cape York in far north Queensland, with community/cultural ties all over Australia. Fellow Indigenous writer, last year's Miles Franklin Award winner Melissa Lucashenko, called Sand Talk ‘An extraordinary invitation into the world of the Dreaming'. Tommy Orange, best-selling author of ‘There There', said ‘This book shows how vital and alive and essential Indigenous ways of being and thinking are.' Tyson's Australian publisher Text describes the book as looking at global systems from an Indigenous perspective, asking how contemporary life diverges from the pattern of creation, and how we can do things differently. A few months ago, Sand Talk was published internationally by Harper Collins, with this statement: A paradigm-shifting book in the vein of Sapiens that brings a crucial Indigenous perspective to historical and cultural issues of history, education, money, power, and sustainability—and offers a new template for living. Well, it'll be wonderfully new to many, and of course profoundly old to others. Either way, it's rich and essential terrain to be travelling together. Especially with the spirit of generosity and trust that Tyson embodies here. I'm still feeling deeply moved by this one. And frankly, changed again. This conversation was recorded Thursday 13 August.

Can indigenous thinking save the world?In episode 18 of The B-side I speak to Tyson Yunkaporta. An academic, art critic, researcher, and author who belongs to the Apalech Clan in far north Queensland.Tyson and I discuss his new book 'Sand Talk'. A truly, remarkable, mind-bending, two-way, learning experience, that provides a template for living, and how patterns and symbolism can help us make sense of the world.It is a fun and fascinating read, filled with big, challenging ideas, covering just about everything from echidnas to evolution, the economy to evolution, Schrodinger's cat, to spirituality all through the lens of indigenous thinking.We chat about what happens when our accepted societal, economic, and global systems are viewed from this perspective, and how we could shape our future for the better by applying its wisdom. Wisdom that acknowledges the complexity of our world; where our modern societies have diverged from these complex patterns of creation seen in nature.Tyson Yunkaporta is perhaps one of Australia's most interesting and exciting thinkers. He truly sees things from a unique, universal, big picture perspective, and manages to unpack it all, in a way that is fun, and accessible to all of us, wherever we're from.We cover lots of ground, from politics, to coronavirus. So it gets pretty deep, raw and a little provocative. But I know you'll love it. So settle in, ready your mind, and enjoy.Cheers.Tyson Yunkaporta can be found here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tyson-yunkaporta-04a9b969/Learn more about 'Sand Talk' here: https://www.textpublishing.com.au/books/sand-talk Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.

Tyson also carves traditional tools and weapons, and also works as a senior lecturer in Indigenous Knowledges at Deakin University in Melbourne, Australia. Find out more about Tyson here.

Tyson Yunkaporta is an academic, an arts critic, and a researcher who is a member of the Apalech Clan in far north Queensland Australia. He's the author of Sand Talk: How Indigenous Thinking Can Save the World. Sand Talk looks deeply at the basic pattern of nature and how that pattern reflects through all of creation, informing not only how natural systems operate, but reflecting into systems of law, harmonious conduct, and relational communication. Join Tyson and me as we take a journey through the pattern — stopping along the way to talk about ancestral mind, native corn, Game of Thrones, and the best way to approach rocks.  Talking about the basic pattern of nature is a rich topic, one which ultimately begs the question, that Old Man Juma in the book keeps getting at, if all this is pattern, then is even the current destructive paradigm part of some greater pattern too? Support the show (http://www.patreon.com/theemeraldpodcast)
