Noongar Place Names: Moodjar Consultancy and Community Arts Network
$15pp
There are more Aboriginal place names in south western Australia than any other cultural bloc in the country – proof of the passive, but powerful resistance of the Noongar people to colonisation. With less than 400 fluent Noongar speakers left, decoding these place names is not only critical, it is the responsibility of a nation that has tried to erase its first nation culture and history. In this interactive session, Professor Len Collard will share his life work in researching Noongar place names and joined by Community Arts Network's CEO, Monica Kane, they demonstrate how their collaboration is helping communities reclaim the cultural meaning of local places and identity.
Location: Hackett Hall
