“If people are laughing, they are learning. True learning is a joy because it is an act of creation.”
Tyson Yunkaporta, Sand Talk: How Indigenous Thinking Can Save the World

“Guilt is like any other energy: you can't accumulate it or keep it because it makes you sick and disrupts the system you live in - you have to let it go. Face the truth, make amends and let it go.”
Tyson Yunkaporta, Sand Talk: How Indigenous Thinking Can Save the World

“an Indigenous person is a member of a community retaining memories of life lived sustainably on a land base, as part of that land base.”
