Indigenous Technology

Have something related to a scientific discovery/theory or philosophy point you want to discuss?

Also the right spot for discussions about environmental issues facing the world.

Indigenous Technology

So these people managed to handle a harsh environment with simplicity-based tech...

Yeah, might be worth looking into.
Dr West, the university's Associate Dean (Indigenous) with the Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology, hopes taking students onto country to see traditional structures like the Brewarrina fish traps will also motivate them to create innovative projects to benefit regional and rural communities.

"[The fish trap] is really an amazing engineering structure, which has stood the test of time," he said.

"As an engineer myself, I could only dream of creating something that lasts thousands and thousands of years, even to the point where early last year, people were still catching fish from those fish traps."
