NAIDOC | 8-15 JULY 2019
VOICE. TREATY. TRUTH.
ENDANGERED LANGUAGES PROJECT RELEASES TODAY
Approximately 90 per cent of our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander languages and dialects are bordering on extinction. CAAMA Music have released Therrka Endangered Languages today in recognition of 2019 as the International Year of Indigenous Languages. Featured above is Stuart Nuggett with his new EP in the language of Jingili, with only 5 native speakers alive today. Stuart was guided by his mother Janet Sandy-Gregory when writing these lyrics, making this album a very special historical record to share with the world. The project also includes The Williams Family (Western Aranda), Lemih Thompson (Pintupi-Luritja) and Jonathan Doolan and the Areyonga Band (Pitjantjatjara). You can access the full music series release HERE.
WORKING TOGETHER FOR A SHARED FUTURE
This NAIDOC we continue the national conversation about the history and culture of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Our voice recognises our 250 plus languages, including 800 dialects, that were spoken prior to 1788. We acknowledge that Australia is the only Commonwealth nation that doesn’t have a treaty with us, and its absence suggests an ongoing denial of the existence and dispossession of First Nations people in Australia. We see the growing momentum to establish a truth-telling commission as a starting point to working together for a shared future.
THE REAL PODCAST
In Episode 1, Mayrah Sonter talks with Yawuru woman Shannan Dodson, daughter of esteemed Aboriginal leader, Mick Dodson, and change maker and social advocate in her own right. Hear Shannan talk about her approach to negative media commentary, and what it was like growing up with one of Australia’s most respected Aboriginal leaders as a father. Then listen up to Episode 2 with Dan Sultan and Episode 3 with Meyne Wyatt.
LISTEN BACK

BLACK CHILD
The NT-raised, Melbourne-based rapper shares the latest single and video “Black Child” feat. Mojo Juju. Place Of Dreams EP, out via Bad Apples Music. “Black Child” features cameo appearances from well-loved artists Alice Skye, Kaiit and guest artist Mojo Juju.  the visuals redefine Euro-centric, Renaissance vignettes with bold, empowered First Nations People.  Birdz speaks truthfully and proudly to his past and present experiences.
OUR VOICE
Check this breakfast conversation in Kaurna language between Taylor and her visiting uncle, who has overstayed his welcome. 2019 recognises our First Nations languages and dialects, and with over 90 percent bordering on extinction, it is so important for us to keep producing content in language.
TALKING GOOD GOVERNANCE
It's a good week to be talking about Aboriginal leadership. The WYDAC Governance Video was made to create discussion in our communities around good governance and what it means to be a board member.
TALKING TREATY
Australia is still without a treaty with our First Nations people. A treaty in Australia could recognise our people's history and prior occupation of our country, as well as the injustices of colonisation. LISTEN to Dr Donna Odegaard AM from Aboriginal Broadcasting Australia talk with Prof. Mick Dodson about TREATY.
LET'S GET SOCIAL!
