I've just discovered a new TV series starting TONIGHT about Indigenous
languages - such a key element in maintaining culture for Aboriginal
people. You'll notice that a high proportion of participants are also
artists. It's on the NITV channel (associated with SBS) at 8.30pm, and runs
for 6 weeks on Sunday nights.

Here's a taster of each program:

*Talking Language* with Ernie Dingo is a personal journey providing a
unique understanding of how knowledge of Aboriginal languages is shaped by
ancestral connections to the land, stars, water, sea and the air we
breathe. Ernie visits six people from across Australia whose stories of a
spiritual connection to country highlight some of the benefits and current
challenges people face to maintain, revive and create languages within
their communities.
