— Appears in: Overland , Spring no. 240 2020; (p. 30-37)

'An important value across the Indigenous world including in Aboriginal philosophy is: Knowing that which has come before helps to understand ways forward. In Ghanaian tradition this value is represented as Sankofa, a bird with its feet facing forward, its head turned back and a gold egg in its mouth. The Twi language word translates to “go back and get it” and the associated proverb is “it is not wrong to go back for that which you have forgotten”. There are many ways for me, an Aboriginal person, to go back – reading the life and works of Oodgeroo (1920 – 1993) of the tribe Noonuccal is rewarding.' (Introduction)
