Description 1 online resource (xix, 135 pages) : illustrations (some color) Contents Introduction -- Reflecting on Australia's Current Legal System -- Personal Stories -- How we Can Change the Current Legal System -- Conclusion Summary This groundbreaking book delves into the lived experiences and collective wisdom of Indigenous communities impacted by colonialism. Through collaborations with non-Indigenous colleagues, this book seeks to inform current legal practices and advocate for a transformative shift toward justice, equity, and the recognition of First Law and Earth-centered law. By presenting Indigenous stories as case studies and incorporating the collective wisdom gained through extensive discussions and exchanges with non-Indigenous colleagues, the authors highlight the ways in which Australian law falls short in upholding holistic principles and fails to align with First Law and Earth-centered law. The book invites readers to consider alternative legal futures that are rooted in respect, justice, and the well-being of both Indigenous peoples and the natural environment. Through its thought-provoking analysis, literature reviews, and insights from Indigenous leaders, this book serves as a powerful resource for legal practitioners, policymakers, scholars, and anyone passionate about social justice and environmental sustainability. The book aims to ignite meaningful dialogue and inspire concrete actions to address the historical injustices faced by Indigenous peoples while fostering a more inclusive and equitable legal framework for the generations to come Bibliography Includes bibliographical references Notes Online resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed March 28, 2024) Subject Indigenous peoples -- Legal status, laws, etc. -- Australia Law reform -- Australia Environmental law -- Australia Genre/Form Electronic books Form Electronic book Author Bagnall, Donna, author Graham, Mary, author Williams, Ross Timmulbar, author Yunkaporta, Tyson, author.
