Madjulla Inc has led the development of the Nyikina Language and Cultural resources.
Over the past 20 years senior elders and community advisers have generated an extensive teaching and learning language kit.
The organisation is in the final stages of compiling this content into a online Nyikina Cultural Data Base containing films, photos, and stories. A data management system will be established to determine access to private and public information collated over the past 20 years.
Madjulla Inc has led the development of the Nyikina Dictionary (Published 2014)
Features illustrations by Nyikina artists including Butcher Joe Nangan.
Contributing authors; Anne Poelina, Claire Bowern, Jeanni Wabi, Lucy Marshall, Thomas Saunders. Editor: Colleen Hattersley.
The dictionary resource along with voice recordings and expert Indigenous learning consultation form the foundation of an interactive mobile app that is currently in development. In partnership with Dr Virginia Westwood, the mobile app will deliver a modern Nyikina language resource with a focus on community accessibility and richness of learning.
Planning is underway with Yurmulun/Pandanus Park Community to establish a language and cultural hub onsite in the community to support the development and maintenance of Nyikina language and cultural development.
