In her article, Jeanie Bell reflects on the importance of reciprocity and the manner that communities are in the process of language revitalisation and maintenance as trained linguists, language workers or community researchers. There is an expectation of many
Aboriginal communities for knowledge to be shared to help create community lead programs. Bell states:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 7.2pt 36pt;color:rgb(34, 34, 34);background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman", serif">
“Community-based language programs often operate alongside school-based programs with a shared goal that reclamation, revival and maintenance involving different generations will hopefully ensure successful outcomes.”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm;color:rgb(34, 34, 34);background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman", serif">
Bell points out widespread distrust of universities in communities and tensions related to what control communities have over their language and unequal power relations between non-Indigenous and Indigenous linguists. Professor Troy and Jacinta Tobin will open
a conversation of language as a tool of recovery, through the use of language as a vibration and frequency related to Country, seasons and stars.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm;color:rgb(34, 34, 34);background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman", serif">

Bell also gives provides insight into the struggle of being an insider-outsider researcher. Both Troy and Tobin are insider researchers and will give their understandings on Aboriginal languages as a true communication with Country which birthed the language
of that area from their lived experience of performing an increase ceremony song in the Snowy mountains and its effect on that country.</p>
