About this book

From climate catastrophes to sudden wars, the world faces conflicts of unprecedented scale. Yet around the globe, Indigenous leaders continue to move forward with determination and hope. Leaders demand change, resisting the destruction of the environment and suggesting solutions to today’s global crisis. Age-old practices are experiencing a cultural revival and the lessons call for all of us to walk alongside Indigenous peoples. In the face of crisis and the progress of technology, this book shows how to stand with Indigenous peoples through uncertainty and chaos. How to stand with Indigenous peoples is about how to listen, how to walk together and how to act.

About the author

Olivia Guntarik teaches in the Music Industry program at RMIT University in Melbourne Australia. A creative writer of non-fiction, fictocriticism and ethnographic narrative, her writing emanates from and within struggles for social justice and human rights. A descendent of the Dusun-Murut hilltribes of Borneo, her traditional and ancestral homelands stretch from her birthplace in the interior plains of Tenom to the foothills of Mount Kinabalu and the river Kiulu, her grandmother’s country. Olivia’s fieldwork encompasses Australia and the wider Asia Pacific region, and includes creating digital stories shared through oral histories, song and sound walks with First Nations storytellers.
