“This book is an unpretentious colossus, resonating with vibrancy and truth. It is a potent and intimate conversation about our relationship with each other and our earth, and the possibility of our reconnection with all things. Yunkaporta illustrates our interconnectedness through story and symbol, ways of addressing contemporary complexities with vast indigenous wisdom and deep respect. This is to be read and shared with everyone.” - Gin

  “A ten out of ten read for me! Sand Talk is exciting and bursting with ideas, it is an invitation to listen and understand and an offering of hope for future sustainability systems- which is everything to me. Yunkaporta is talking about indigenous culture’s sustainability for thousands upon thousands of years and turns this practise and thinking onto contemporary society to offer solutions for sustainability today. Turning the current mode of Western thinking up-side down. Through yarning with a range of custodians of the land, Yunkaporta has brought oral history alive through the written text. This is an exciting prospect as it has created a fire in my belly and I hope in other readers as well. Yunkaporta is also a carver; in addition to the sand talk diagrams, he has also created wood carving for each of these chapters. Readers of Dark Emu have their next read right here.” - Dean 

 "Never have I wanted – so urgently and so completely – to commit a book to memory as I did while reading Tyson Yunkaporta's Sand Talk. This is book is a revelation. It shouldn't just be read, but shared, discussed, used as a tool to reinterpret our past and future. I loved this book – its wisdom, kindness, vigour, complexity and humility. For me, it felt unbelievably generous, personal and hopeful. I'm not sure I can recall a book about the future of humanity this hopeful, energising and unique." - Emma CO
