You will have noticed the front page of your newspaper looks a little different today.

The paper’s masthead, Marawar Boodjara, is the Noongar phrase for The West Australian.

Marawar is Noongar for west, and Boodjara is the word for country.

We thank linguist Alison Nannup — who provides our daily Noongar word of the day on the Letters page (today page 73) — for the translation.

We are proud of our award-winning coverage of Indigenous issues, and the front page and special wrap-around pages continue that commitment as we highlight National Reconciliation Week.

Ben O'Shea and The West Live producer Shannon Beven discuss.
