On June 18 to 20, 2021, A long-term language rejuvenation project came to fruition with a successful weekend-long linguistic field trip to Port Lincoln.
Port Lincoln and the region of the Eyre Peninsula is the traditional land of the Barngarla People, and is approximately a one hour flight from our home base in Adelaide.
I planned and coordinated the educational experience with the collaboration of Barngarla Community Members , and Professor Ghil'ad Zuckermann, Professor of Linguistics and Chair of Endangered Languages at the University of Adelaide Australia.
The travelling group consisted of teachers, parents, and their children to undertake a cross-cultural exchange with the native speakers of the indigenous language they are learning, Barngarla.
