Indigenous Literacy Day (ILD) is an annual celebration of First Nations stories, cultures and languages created by the Indigenous Literacy Foundation (ILF).
On Wednesday 3 September, we’re celebrating with the theme Strength in our Stories: For Now & Future Generations with a free FILM and LIVESTREAM event from Sydney Opera House.
Indigenous Literacy Day FILM
Join us on an adventure through 3 remote Aboriginal Communities to learn about the diverse ways storytelling makes their Communities strong.
In this joyful FILM audiences will travel to:
– Ceduna & Koonibba in South Australia to learn from young author Mia Speed, celebrate Wirangu language, and make Bush Medicine on Country.
– Katherine & Binjari in the Northern Territory to meet student authors of Grinch det K’Taun Krok!, hear from Elders, and learn the creational Dreaming story of Katherine Gorge.
– Warakurna Community in Western Australia to go out on Country, learn about the seasons, and how Miss Daisy’s knowledge and stories are keeping Warakurna kids strong.
