You will be introduced to the life and languages of the Yolngu people in north east Arnhem Land gaining invaluable insight into the complexity of Indigenous societies found elsewhere in Australia. This course concentrates on Yolngu Matha (Yolngu language) forms of Dhuwala, and you will learn the everyday conversation version of the language, building on grammar and basic vocabulary, which will help if you decide to continue learning other Yolngu languages. Key areas you will also explore are Moiety systems, various aspects of kinship, Yolngu life, creation stories, songs, art and ceremonies and how they are related.
