Session 1: Keynote Address
A Voice in the Smoke - Professor Kim Scott
Aboriginal languages might be regarded as major denominations
in the currency of identity and belonging. Professor Kim Scott
will speak about his involvement in efforts to return archival
Aboriginal (Noongar) language material to its home community
and landscape, and to empower members of that community
through control and sharing of their heritage of story and song.
