Australia's First Nations' languages as part of everyday communication

Monday, 15 July 2019 - 6:00pm to 6:30pm

Two recently published books - "Wilam: A Birrarung Story" and "Nganga: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Words and Phrases" - aim to engage readers in recognizing and undertanding first nation's languages as an important part of Australia's everyday culture and communication. This week, we hear from the authors, Yarra Riverkeeper Andrew Kelly, senior linguist at the Victorian Aboriginal Corporation for Languages, Aunty Fay Muir, and award winning children's writer Sue Lawson.
