We spoke with Jamie Graham-Blair about the limitations of Eurocentric universities, how Aboriginal people have always been the original scientists and how younger generations are the key to saving the future.
Jamie Graham-Blair is a young and warm-hearted specialist in matters of science, Indigenous resistance and the spiritual world. Soon to graduate from University of Tasmania as a Marine and Antarctic scientist and working withteaching people Aboriginal practices of sustainability, he is committed to protecting and healing country."I've always wanted to learn the tools to help protect the environment," he tells us via facetime.
What's a major difference between the way Western countries and Indigenous cultures view conservatism ? Western cultures seem to assume that Indigenous cultural practices are not based on scientific knowledge. Our culture has always been about protecting country. We look after ourselves, our communities and the resources around us by looking after the land. For example, we've always known how and when to burn certain areas to help with regrowth and to reduce bushfires. We can tell simply by listening to country when she needs to be burnt. We burn it, open country up, and this helps other species thrive.
