The role of song in Kaytetye and Warlpiri biocultural knowledge

该项目旨在将土著生态知识与澳大利亚中部两种土著语言（Kaytetye和Warlpiri）的土著礼仪知识结合起来。该项目由一个多学科的小组组成，并以现有的词汇和音乐语料库为基础，预计将出版第一部生物文化专著。生物区系的识别和人类对它们的使用将随着它们的歌声、起源地和亲缘关系而扩大;从而促进对社会如何与自然世界互动以及音乐在保留知识方面的作用的了解。该项目的预期效益是，通过在国家和增强土著能力方面开展工作，加强土著生物文化知识的代际转移。

This project aims to integrate Indigenous Ecological Knowledge with Indigenous ceremonial knowledge in two central Australian Aboriginal languages: Kaytetye and Warlpiri. With a multidisciplinary team and by building on existing lexical and musical corpora, the project expects to produce the first biocultural monographs. Identification of biota and human uses of them will be expanded with their song, site of origin and kinship affiliation; thus advancing knowledge of how societies interact with the natural world and the role of music in retaining knowledge. Expected benefits of this project are greater intergenerational transfer of Indigenous biocultural knowledge through working on country and enhanced Indigenous capacity.
