Helen Verran is an Aboriginal Australian scholar, who studies how indigenous people use science. She believes that Aboriginal peoples in Australia can learn from and use science to help them make decisions about their own environment. She has written many books about this subject and talks about how Aboriginal people use different forms of knowledge to stay connected to the land, their heritage, and their culture. She also works to help empower other Aboriginal people to use their knowledge and understanding of the environment, and to use science to help them lead a healthier life.
