$12.00 AUD
This wonderful resource for young children, educators, and community members responds to the recognition that the revival of Aboriginal languages is essential for a true understanding of the complexity and richness of Aboriginal culture.
Through its words and sentence structures, the Dharawal language reveals an intricate relationship between people and their connection to the land, sea, and sky. Language shapes the way we think and act. Author Dr. Jodi Edwards, in collaboration with Uncle Les Bursill, has pioneered the revival of this nearly lost language, developing this resource to teach the children of the Sutherland Shire and the Illawarra.
