First Nations peoples are some of the oldest innovators in the world.  

Hear from authors Ian J McNiven and Lynette Russell in conversation with Larissa Behrendt as they share insight into ingenuity that spans millennia, including body shaping, building artificial reefs for oyster farms, repurposing glass from Europeans into spearheads, and novel economic responses to colonisation. 

Recorded live at Melbourne Writers Festival 2024.
