Learning to read the signs: law in an Indigenous reality

This article examines Aboriginal views of knowledge, time and space, and discusses the implications of these views for understanding Aboriginal legal systems. In doing this, we adopt an Indigenous perspective formed and informed by the ancient holistic knowledge systems of Aboriginal people. The article is part of a new wave of Indigenous scholarship where Indigenous thinkers worldwide are seeking to elucidate the nature of our systems and their interaction with Western ways of knowing.
