Summary In the author's own words, Dreaming Ecology 'explores a holistic understanding of the interconnections of people, country, kinship, creation and the living world within a context of mobility. Implicitly it asks how people lived so sustainably for so long'. It offers a telling critique of the loss of Indigenous life, human and non-human, in the wake of white settler colonialism and this becoming 'cattle country'. It offers a fresh perspective on nomadics grounded in 'footwalk epistemology' and 'an ethics of return sustained across different species, events, practices and scales'.
