This website and activity booklet are in response to the recognition that the revival of Aboriginal languages, in this case Dharawal, is essential if we are to have a true understanding about the complexities of our culture. It is through the words and the ways the sentences are constructed that language reveals its intricate relationship between the people and how they connect to the land, sea and sky. Language shapes the way we think and act. Aboriginal people now have the means to have their voices heard and are taking ownership and control of this knowledge.
