About this listen
Discover the exciting revival of the Noongar language as the younger generation breathe new life into an ancient and endangered tongue. Explore the complexities and importance of place naming and dual naming – how families come together with respect and protocol to interpret traditional names, often lost or altered over time. Hear how Elders’ knowledge guides this process, using stories and language to reconnect with Country. Through examples like Niergarup (place of salmon), learn how names reflect the richness of Noongar heritage. This episode highlights why honouring language and culture with integrity is vital for both Aboriginal and non-Indigenous communities, fostering awareness, respect, reconciliation and a deeper connection to the land.
