This book maps Indigenous awareness onto Western science to address today's environmental and equality issues. A way forward is provided in Ngaru Whenua Ocean Diffraction, a decolonised framework uniting the Māori wave pattern for navigation with the science of diffraction.
This book is essential for those interested in Indigenous awareness and how this maps across to the world of Western science, in the context of the issues facing society today: the human relationship to the environment and ethnic equality. A way forward is provided based on Indigenous ecological connection as a significant counter to the Anthropocene. Traditional non-instrument navigators use a specific wave pattern to guide them to an island, called Ngaru Whenua by Māori. In Western science, the same wave pattern is called diffraction and applies to light, water and sound. For this meeting of belief systems to take place Clothier provides a decolonised framework called Ngaru Whenua Ocean Diffraction, an important step forward in the worldwide battle against colonial forces. Against this backdrop, a new suite of creative works is presented, forming evolved encapsulations of the trajectories discussed.
