Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. A unique exploration into Indigenous ways of knowing, being and relating, with an in-depth focus on kinship systems and how their cyclical nature foiled attempts by missionaries to destroy them.Part instruction manual and part philosophical text, The Eagle and the Crow is a profound work of First Nations knowledge and research. Written as a series of lyric essays, JM Field's book traverses Gamilaraay conceptions of time and place, the ways English can quietly disrupt languages and cultures, and the form and practical functions of kinship systems.Most importantly, Field's fascinating insights from mathematics offer a map for the revitalisation of Gamilaraay social structures once prohibited during the Missionary Era.
