LearningPathways YolŋuBalanda vs Ngarinyin Welcome

Yolŋu or Yolngu are First Nations Australian people from North-East Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory of Australia; Balanda are non-Indigenous people. The LearningPathways YolŋuBalanda app supports Yolŋu to understand Balanda education systems and Balanda to recognise and respect Yolŋu education systems. The app includes four sections: - a dictionary of English terms that Yolŋu wanted explained in Djambarrpuyŋu (a Yolŋu language); - a Yolŋu child’s developmental pathway including ways that family monitor and support children’s development; - explanations of the Australian education pathway (relevant to the Northern Territory) and services for children and families at Galiwin’ku; and - videos to support Balanda to recognise Yolŋu education processes within ceremonial contexts. These resources were co-created through a collaborative research project in the remote Yolŋu community of Galiwin’ku. The project - Dharaŋanamirr dhukarr guŋgayunaraw djamarrkuḻiw' ga gurruṯumirriw marŋgikunharaw ḏälkunharaw gakalwun dhiyakun märrmaw'nha romgun - Understanding pathways to support Yolŋu children and families to achieve strong learning in two systems: A Participatory Action Research Project - was funded by an AIATSIS Research Exchange Grant from 2020-23.

Welcome to the Wilinggin Visitor Guide app. We, the Ngarinyin people, invite you to experience the rich cultural landscape of Wilinggin—our Country. In our language, Wilinggin means "Our Country," representing the land, stories, and connection between our people and the environment that has nurtured us for millennia. This app offers a gateway to understanding the cultural significance of our Country and the Dreamings that connect us to past, present, and future. Our traditional lands stretch across the rugged areas along the Gibb River Road in Western Australia's Kimberley region, an area breathtaking in natural beauty and rich in cultural history. As custodians of this land, we invite you to step into our world, walk with us on Country, and learn from stories passed down through generations. Through this app, we guide you through key cultural sites significant to our people. Each landmark holds its own story—stories vital to our heritage that continue to live and evolve with us. These places are sacred not just as physical landscapes, but as living embodiments of our culture, beliefs, and the Dreamings that define us.
