The Wayfinders: Why Ancient Wisdom Matters in the Modern World (CBC Massey Lecture)
by Wade Davis
Description
Drawing on journeys across the globe, this compelling work explores the wisdom of Indigenous peoples and the vital knowledge embedded in their languages, traditions, and relationships with the natural world. It reveals how diverse cultures have developed distinctive ways of understanding place, community, spirituality, and survival—and why these perspectives matter amid today’s environmental and social crises. Blending anthropology, travel writing, and cultural reflection, the book is both an eloquent tribute to human diversity and a thoughtful call to protect the world’s threatened cultural and ecological heritage.
