The Moama Local Aboriginal Land Council (Moama LALC) is proud to lead a powerful initiative focused on the revival and preservation of traditional Aboriginal languages within the local community. Language is more than communication – it is the heartbeat of culture, identity, and connection to Country. Through its Language Program, Moama LALC is working closely with Elders, community members, linguists, and educators to reclaim the words, stories, and knowledge that have been passed down for thousands of years.
This initiative supports workshops, school programs, and intergenerational learning sessions where local languages are taught, spoken, and celebrated. Elders play a vital role, sharing cultural knowledge and pronunciation with younger generations, ensuring the continuation of this rich linguistic heritage.
The program is not only about preserving language, but about healing and empowerment. By reconnecting with language, community members strengthen their cultural identity and deepen their sense of belonging.
Moama LALC’s Language Program is a living expression of cultural resilience – helping to ensure that the voices of ancestors continue to echo through the voices of today and tomorrow. It is a vital step in honouring the past, enriching the present, and safeguarding culture for the future.
