Acknowledging Country: Way forward to reconciliation
Nathan Tyson
There is much wisdom, knowledge, and direction for living to be discovered in listening to country. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in these lands now called Australia know this and seek to live deeply connected to country and to share that knowing with others.
Nathan Tyson gives the third lecture in the "Listening to Country" series, sponsored by Pitt Street Uniting Church, Eremos, St James Institute and Wellspring. Nathan Tyson is an Aboriginal man of Anaiwon/Gomeroi descent, who has lived most of his life in Sydney.
