Join us for Puliima at the Darwin Conference Centre on 21-25 August to celebrate The Aboriginal International Language Decade.
This Decade aims to ensure indigenous peoples' rights to language preservation, revitalisation, and development, as well as mainstream linguistic diversity and multiculturism issues in efforts to promote sustainable development.

Listen in, be inspired by Gerry Turpin, a Mbabaram Traditional Owner who is 'as far as he knows' the first fully trained Indigenous Ethnobotanist in Australia. Gerry has helped seed and lead groundbreaking research that bridges two worlds and empowers Elders and communities to research, record, protect and derive value from their plant and cultural knowledge and to share it in ways they want.

This is the final deep dive, long lens conversation for Nourishing Matters 2022. It's one that book ends the series since its inception in late 2019 when I was blown away by Gerry's keynote presentation at PULiiMA 2019 and the power of his work for culture, community, environment and food sovereignty.

An amazing opportunity to share and learn from the Far West Rangers in SA and the Tjaltjraak Rangers WA as we all came together in Ceduna SA, a huge topic for this big week back in August was data collection and mapping country(supported by IMW Australia) and the role langauge centres can play and are there supporting this amazing on country work by our Rangers and Communities. We can not explain how much admiration we have for their devotion to sea and land country management. If only someone had brought some firewood to have kept us warm when flying the thermal drone late at night.

We know we are a quiet lot on FB, anyway we hope our local community like this project which we supported Lake Macquarie City Council with, we congratulate them for their bravery in doing this in the manner they have

We are all on a language journey, and each year we ourselves discover more secrets about the languages of here, and the unique sounds and rich meanings within. Our own work evolves as we constantly challange and question it, you can't bring back a language overnight, unfortunately it can take years and for many decades

We also do not take for granted the simple and purposed translations and spellings which happened in the 1830's, whilst they have formed the foundation of our work they are not the rule, but we are brave to put every effort we can so that the unique and rich words and phrases of not just here but all of our languages can be once again heard, spoken and sung with the manner in which they originally were and we now hope will once again be

Each word is knowledge and knowledge is "our everything", as such we will continue to do everything we can to help get this right of seeing and using our languages in a world they were not originally part of, but are needed to be

I know we have many people like Alex already in our community working tirelessly to support our work of saving our languages and helping provide empowerment to our people everywhere, but I am hoping that in this special year celebrating the International Year of Indigenous Languages you may be able to get behind his goal of raising funds. Every dollar raised by Alex will go towards the Australian Literacy & Numeracy Foundations First Language work, which empowers communities to become their own change-makers, teachers and language experts.

The words come from our ceremonies to teach us about places and relationships.” Gula Lalara, Anindilyakwa language Group.
