Shownotes Transcript

The book ‘Words to Sing the World Alive’ celebrates First Nations languages from across the continent. Through this book, forty high profile First Nation writers and thinkers, journalists and lawyers, artists and astronomers come together to reveal their favourite and significant words. Words that evoke the power of childhood and the wonder of Country; that explore the essence of mother, of fire, of time. Words that are imbued with family and belonging, and that surprise with their connections.
