Description: Everywhen is a groundbreaking collection about diverse ways of conceiving knowing and narrating time and deep history. Looking beyond the linear documentary past of Western or academic history this collection asks how knowledge systems of Australia's Aboriginals and Torres Strait Islanders can broaden our understandings of the past and of historical practice. Indigenous embodied practices for knowing narrating and reenacting the past in the present blur the distinctions of linear time making all history now. Ultimately questions of time and language are questions of Indigenous sovereignty. The Australian case is especially pertinent because Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are among the few Native peoples without a treaty with their colonizers. Appreciating First Nations time concepts embedded in languages and practices as Everywhen does is a route to recognizing diverse forms of Indigenous sovereignties. Everywhen makes three major contributions. The first is a concentration on language both as a means of knowing and transmitting the past across generations and as a vital albeit long - overlooked source material for historical investigation to reveal how many Native people maintained and continue to maintain ancient traditions and identities through language. Everywhen also considers Indigenous practices of history or knowing the past that stretch back more than sixty thousand years; these Indigenous epistemologies might indeed challenge those of the academy. Finally the volume explores ways of conceiving time across disciplinary boundaries and across cultures revealing how the experience of time itself is mediated by embodied practices and disciplinary norms. Everywhen brings Indigenous knowledges to bear on the study and meaning of the past and of history itself. It seeks to draw attention to every when arguing that Native time concepts and practices are vital to understanding Native histories and further that they may offer a new framework for history as practiced in the Western academy.
