Term 3, 2019 Library Newsletter NAIDOC Week Edition
https://www.naidoc.org.au/
2019 is the International Year of Indigenous Languages and this year’s NAIDOC week celebrations are focused on the significance of Aboriginal languages to history, culture and identity in Australia. ‘Voice’, ‘Treaty’, and ‘Truth’ were key ele-ments of the Uluru Statement from the Heart and express the long standing call for the meaningful and effective inclusion of Aboriginal voices in all levels of Australia’s democracy. Teachers can find teachers guides and education resources ex-ploring this year’s NAIDOC theme, poster artwork and the history of NAIDOC week at: https://www.naidoc.org.au/
“It’s time for our knowledge to be heard through our voice – an Indigenous voice of this country that is over 65,000 plus years old.. They are the first words spoken on this continent. Languages that passed down lore,
culture and knowledge for over millennia. They are precious to our nation and need to be celebrated but it’s our voice that needs to be listened to.” (John Paul Janke, NAIDOC Co-Chair, 2019)
Inside this edition you will find details of our library ser-vices and resources as well as upcoming workshops for professional development. OWC offers specialist work-shops and events throughout the year at a discount rate

KEY DATES IN TERM 3 …
FOR LEARNING AND SHARING …
Bruce Pascoe’s book Dark Emu has transformed existing understandings of
the relationship between Aboriginal peoples and the Australian landscape
and, with it, the global history of agriculture and technology. Pascoe’s re-
search reveals the highly innovative and complex agriculture, aquaculture,
food production and land care systems of Australia’s first peoples that were
in place thousands of years before the arrival of Europeans. His work com-
municates Aboriginal knowledge, practice and cultural understandings that
are key to the future of environmental stewardship, land care and food pro-
duction in Australia.
There are several pathways for teachers who wish to bring Pascoe’s work into
the classroom. ABC education has released a ‘digibook’ - Bruce Pascoe—
Aboriginal Agriculture, Technology and Ingenuity. This resource is available
online at http://education.abc.net.au and includes links to interviews, videos
and primary sources. This material can be used to enrich and extend multiple
aspects of the WA curriculum, including Design and Technologies, History
and Geography, and Biological, Chemical and Earth Sciences.
Young Dark Emu—A junior version of Dark Emu written for children and
young adults will be available for loan from the One World Centre Library
soon.
