There is no more important aspect of Aboriginal culture than the language itself. It is indeed the valid key that unlocks the door to understanding the rich cosmology of Aboriginality. Language is all encompassing of Aboriginal culture, identity and relationship to land and environment. All Aboriginal groups are bound through their own unique complex and rich cultural tapestry, which combines land, language, people, totem and kinship’s to their sacred Dreaming. This book is a result of a local Aboriginal community initiative to make available the Awabakal language for study and enjoyment. As a result a valuable Aboriginal language resource has been developed for the Newcastle, Port Stephens and Hunter River region of New South Wales.
