Language Work Continues
Nyaparu (William) Gardiner and his wife Katie have been working at Wangka Maya over the last month. Nyaparu is a talented artist and storyteller, and is working on a series of new illustrations for our publications. His previous book, Ngajumili Muwarr Wanikinarni Partanyja Wirtujatinyankanu Mirtanyajartinyi, was very popular. It’s great to have them back working at Wangka Maya.
WA Language Centre Conference 2009
The WA Language Centres Conference was held with great success from the 10 – 12 June in Northbridge, Perth. Participants travelled from across the state to be warmly welcomed by the Noongar people, who are the traditional owners of the area.
The highlight of the conference was hearing about the fantastic grassroots language work going on in urban and remote communities. Participants also heard about some great projects being carried out by AIATSIS, the Australian National University, and Sydney based company Curious Works.
