How would you say that in the lingo? Describing culturally specific content and engineering words as we revitalise Indigenous languages.

How do we describe culturally specific content, when first language speakers are no longer accessible, the descriptions we are looking for have not been recorded and there is no English equivalent to form the basis of a translation? Throughout my PhD research, whilst describing songs, I have avoided Western musical terminology and tried to find ways of describing the most culturally salient features of the songs. This meant that I had to think about how the Old People might have described the songs as well as how my Community would think about them today. What about other culturally specific content that is yet to be revitalised in our Indigenous languages? In this session, I wish for us to think about how we can describe Indigenous concepts and engineer cultural words as we revitalise our Indigenous languages.
