Keeping one of the world’s most ancient languages alive through song

 

First Nations people lived peacefully on this land for thousands and thousands of years before European settlement. They were prosperous and master caretakers of this beautiful Country.

We have written songs to teach the language of the Wadawurrung people.

By singing these songs, you will help to keep one of the world’s most ancient languages alive in the voices of both First Nations and non-First Nations people.
