Victor Steffensen is an Indigenous writer, filmmaker, musician and consultant applying traditional knowledge values through workshops and artistic projects.

Much of Victor’s work over the past 27 years has been based on the arts and reviving traditional knowledge - particularly traditional burning - through mentoring and leadership as well as on-ground training with Aboriginal communities and non-Indigenous Australians.

Victor’s story demonstrates the incredibly sophisticated and complex knowledge that has been passed down to him. Fire Country is written in away that reflects the nature of yarning, and while some of the knowledge shared in this book may not align with Western views, there is much evidence that, if adopted, it could greatly benefit all Australians.
