"The theme of this year’s NAIDOC Week is “Keep the Fire Burning! Blak, Loud and
Proud”. The organisers are calling for “a society where the wisdom and
contributions of Indigenous peoples are fully valued and respected”.
Australia’s Indigenous peoples have gained intimate Knowledges of this
continent through long-term observations and holistic thinking. They have
connections to their traditional estate, known as Country, spanning thousands
of generations. As climate change worsens, Indigenous peoples can offer
valuable insights into sustainability and resilience.
Governments and others increasingly recognise how Indigenous Knowledges can
helps us better monitor and adapt to a warmer world. This can lead to better
understanding and decision-making.
When it comes to climate change in Australia, the fires of Knowledge are
burning bright. It’s time Indigenous Knowledges are heard – and it’s time for
action."
