In the author’s own words, Dreaming Ecology ”explores a holistic understanding of the interconnections of people, country, kinship, creation and the living world within a context of mobility. Implicitly it asks how people lived so sustainably for so long.” It offers a telling critique of the loss of Indigenous life, human and non-human, in the wake of white settler colonialism and this becoming “cattle country.” It offers a fresh perspective on nomadics grounded in “footwalk epistemology” and “an ethics of return sustained across different species, events, practices and scales.” (Source: The ANU Press)
