Tyson Yunkaporta is an academic, an arts critic, and a researcher who is a member of the Apalech Clan in far north Queensland. He carves traditional tools and weapons and also works as a senior lecturer in Indigenous Knowledges at Deakin University in Melbourne. He lives in Melbourne.


Tyson Yunkaporta is the author of Sand Talk: Changing the World Through Indigenous Knowledge. Admittedly cheeky, Tyson's goal with the book is to provoke thought and encourage conversations. In my meandering podcast with him, we end up on a virtual walkabout that weaves in and out of the book topics with our own stories and commentary. I came across his book because of a Shamanism course I am taking and I devoured it in one night! The book is as engaging as Tyson is in this conversation.
