Noonghaburra Path to Knowledge - Tex Skuthorpe

While searching the web for Aboriginal paintings, I found this story about the aboriginal people Noonghaburra, told by finnish KM specialist Karl-Erik Sveiby.

Sveiby asked Tex Skuthorpe what was the aboriginal word for knowledge. The artist consultant couldn’t find any.

« Our land is our knowledge, we walk on the knowledge, we dwell in the knowledge, we live in our thesaurus, we walk in our Bible every day of our lives. Everything is knowledge. »

Aboriginal wisdom is deep and universal.

Paradigm shift.
The territory is the map.

Sustainability is about changing the World.
Changing the World is about changing ourselves.

What we need is to bring knowledge to action.
And for that, we need to network and learn to think collectively.
We need to think collectively.
But why would we think collectively?
Because we are friend to each other.
Now we have the knowledge. Let’s build together our friendship.

Sustainability is about knowledge and friendship.
