CONNECTION to COUNTRY:
What does it mean in the context of First Nations ways of Being/Knowing and Deep Ecology? As the world starts to embrace a deeper understanding of inter-relationality, what is the shared experience between these two philosophies/understanding of reality? Is there an intersection between spiritual pragmatism, academic assertion and potential cultural misappropriation?
