Kaya wandjoo ngala Noongarpedia – Welcome to our Noongarpedia: Report on a research project

Organisations such as Noongar Boodjar Language Cultural Aboriginal Corporation, the South West Aboriginal Land and Sea Council (SWALSC) and South Coast Natural Resource Management were also important, particularly in offering support in identifying key resources and offering expert advice on Noongar language and knowledge. The role of the centre is to record, analyse and preserve the Noongar language.2 The launch was an emotional and inspiring celebration of all the work that has been done over decades to revive and research Noongar language. [...]it became clear from the experience of the centre that there is roughly a 10-year development stage before language speakers can feel comfortable in teaching people language themselves. Particularly attractive for him was the emphasis on using digital platforms to assist in the renewal of Indigenous knowledge and language.
