This Weeks Puliima Highlights
International Presenters - Indigenous Language Institute (North America)
Jeremy Montoya, Jordan Naranjo are part of a group of very inspirational Native American teens, along side of Rachael Nez from the Indigenous Languages Institute(ILI) in North America and with their mentor, Laura Jagles, they are learning their native language and have a truly remarkable story to share. They are participating in a groundbreaking pilot program that is an empowering self-study language course developed by ILI, the schools and the community. They wish to share their story and their learnings with you, come along and be inspired too.

Victoria - Why Language is Important to Me
We are very pleased to have an inspirational young girl, Hollie Johnson, from Victoria presenting, "Why Language is Important to Me". Hollie has completed Year 12 Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) in Indigenous Languages and is currently working with Victorian Aboriginal Corporation for Langauges part-time to extend her skills and knowledge. It is great to see young people getting involved with Aboriginal language revival and maintenance and carrying on the hard work that has been started by their elders.
"With my language now being passed from my Elders onto me it has given me the opportunity to extend my knowledge and understanding of my people and where we come from." - Hollie Johnson
