Baraya Barray ~ Whale Song brings attention to the origin of First Nations languages and the important lessons we can learn from our natural environment in caring for Country by celebrating saltwater songlines of the East Coast following the movements of Humpback Whales from Lutruwita (TAS) to Meanjin (QLD). Coinciding with the International Decade of Indigenous Languages, during the three year program, communities across the east coast will connect young First Nations people with Elders, Language Custodians, scientists, poets and musicians, through On Country immersive experiences, to learn about and respond to our original language holders - the Whales. https://redroompoetry.org/projects/baraya-barray-whale-song/ Recordings provided here for educational purposes are excerpts of datasets held by the Australian Antarctic Data Centre.
