Public Comment
"The preservation of language and culture has been a strong focus of the Korrawinga Aboriginal Corporation. Traditional dance, fishing, horticulture, weaving, sewing, beading and woodwork are some of the activities offered for young and old. The Butchulla Language Program has been a particularly successful outcome from Korrawinga's work. The program owes much of its strength to the involvement of the young members of the community, who use tools such as story telling, oral histories, games, song and dance to teach and keep their language alive. Language programs are run in conjunction with after school, the respite centre, the detention centre, and the Uni of South Qld."
