Learning Tree Knowledge with Uncle Kuu

The follow-up to Looking after Country with Fire for children aged 5 to 10 years.

Take a walk with Uncle Kuu in The Trees, a picture book about caring for Country and respect for Indigenous knowledge.

Looking after the trees is important for keeping Country happy and healthy.  First Nations People have cared for the trees on Country for thousands of years.  In return, the trees look after the people and provide them with gifts of seeds, flowers, wood and more.  This creates the balance between giving and taking from the land.

About the Author

Victor Steffensen is an Indigenous writer, filmmaker, musician and consultant applying traditional knowledge values in a contemporary context, through workshops and artistic projects. He is a descendant of the Tagalaka people through his mother’s connections from the Gulf Country of north Queensland. Much of Victor's work over the past 27 years has been based on the arts and reviving traditional knowledge values – particularly traditional burning – through mentoring and leadership, as well as on-ground training with Aboriginal communities and many non-Indigenous Australians.
