Wisdom of the elders

by Peter Knudtson

This is a book about man's place in nature. It is a book about ways of "seeing". For the authors the future of the planet depends on a joining of two worldviews: the Aboriginal and the scientific. The gap between these two is large, but there is common ground. It lies, the authors say, in the collective wisdom of our elders.
