Preserving Aboriginal language through song archives

该项目旨在探索歌曲如何保护正在消失的土著语言。歌曲和语言对土著人民的福祉和知识是不可或缺的，土著语言的丧失是国家和全球危机。该项目以西澳大利亚州西南部濒临灭绝的宁加尔语言为重点，将开发一种模式，在网络和实体空间重新传播和表演档案歌曲，让社区参与进来，同时开发资源供未来使用。预计该项目的成果将为全球保护非物质文化遗产的努力提供信息，并为澳大利亚的和解议程做出贡献。

This project aims to explore how song can preserve vanishing Indigenous languages. Song and language are integral to the wellbeing and knowledge of Indigenous peoples, and the loss of Indigenous languages is a national and global crisis. Focusing on the endangered Nyungar language of the south-west of Western Australia, this project will develop a model to recirculate and perform archival songs in online and physical spaces, engaging the community while developing resources for future use. The outcomes of this project are expected to inform global efforts to sustain intangible cultural heritage and contribute to the Australian reconciliation agenda.
