Let this series begin the discussion.’ – Bruce Pascoe ‘An act of intellectual reconciliation.’ – Lynette Russell Songlines are an archive for powerful knowledges that ensured Australia’s many Indigenous cultures survived and flourished for over 60,000 years. Much more than a navigational path in the cartographic sense, these vast and robust stores of information are encoded through song, story, dance, art and ceremony, rather than simply recorded in writing. Weaving deeply personal storytelling with extensive research on mnemonics, Songlines offers unique insights into Indigenous traditional knowledges, how they apply today and how they could help all peoples thrive into the future. This book invites readers to understand a remarkable way for storing knowledge in memory by adapting song, art, and most importantly, Country, into their lives.
