Indigenous Weddings and Sustainable Structures

Indigenous weddings are not about cultural stereotypes, but rather understanding the sustainability of systems and relationships. Building structures that are sustainable over time is key. It is important to look beyond academia and Western lenses to understand non-Western cultures through an Aboriginal lens. Complexity theory and systems thinking provide insights into knowledge employed and inhabited by Indigenous communities. Indigenous knowledge is enacted in ritual combat and ceremonies to limit damaging effects. Understanding the balance and complexity of systems can inform more sustainable structures for anything we want to create.
