This weekend The Age will launch an important new series of stories about Truth Telling.

Our series seeks to understand the impact of colonisation on Indigenous Victorians, how Indigenous peoples survived to tell their own stories, and to forge their own future on a path towards the nation’s first Treaty.

With many Indigenous languages already lost or dormant as a result of colonisation, the importance of preserving language, and for all Australians to learn it, has come into sharp focus.

Today on Please Explain, Indigenous affairs journalist Jack Latimore joins Nathanael Cooper to discuss the importance of language.
