Mother's Tongue <http://www.yirrayaakin.com.au/-MOTHER-S-TONGUE-.html>  is a contemporary Indigenous story about David and Ngala, a brother and sister trying to find their way in life after the death of their grandmother, the keeper of secrets and last custodian of the knowledge of a whole language group. After her death, David is the only person left alive that can speak his mother's tongue.
