Meet David Newry, a Miriwoong man, born and bred in remote north west Western Australia – almost part of the land itself – and Knut J. Olawsky, a German-born linguist who’s worked in Africa, America, New Guinea and Australia, who are working together to preserve the Miriwoong ancient language and the culture and traditions of the First Nations people who speak it.
Through language, the old people hope to pass on all-important history, customs, stories, traditions – all those things that go to give a person a sense of identity.
David and KJ work together at the Mirima Language Centre in Kununurra
