Indigenous Literacy Day is Wednesday 6 September 2023
These books celebrate songs, cultures and languages and pay homage to Elders and Country, reflecting what life is like in remote Indigenous Communities.
We Look, We Find
From Napranum in Cape York, Queensland, We Look, We Find showcases what it means to be on Country with Elders. The book teaches children the importance of learning about Country and shares words in Thaynakwith language.
Country Tells Us When…
Country Tells Us When… is a story from the Yawuru Community in Rubibi (Broome) that explores the seasonal changes of the Kimberley. The story was created by educators from Cable Beach Primary School because they felt that there weren’t enough story and language resources like this for their children and Community.
Shordi Krik
Written by students from the Barunga Remote Community School and supported by ILF Ambassador Justine Clarke, Shordi Krik shares the joy of being at a nearby creek (Shorty Creek) where the children play, swim, sing and speak in their First Language, Kriol.
