This is a strong way to help bridge a cultural gulf that is all too prevalent here in Australia. Produced by the community, for the community. Teaching language, self representation. Promoting culture. Good on ya!

Is it really?! Surely not! Though, being primarily oral traditions (few if any Aboriginal groups having developed any written language at all whatsoever), they are rather fragile and liable to be lost or, at least over time, somewhat watered-down.

"Ideally, it should be possible to preserve as much of still-extant Aboriginal language(s)/culture(s) as possible"

IT'S FUCKEN DEAD!!!

[BourneArgonaut]

Ideally, it should be possible to preserve as much of still-extant Aboriginal language(s)/culture(s) as possible, yet still integrate English language and Western Culture into the education of Aboriginal children. Finding an optimal & cost-effective way of doing this, though, is the key issue. The same applies to North American aboriginal peoples.

[BourneArgonaut]

While perhaps said a tad bit too harshly by Hammersley1967, this is indeed true. It is, however, *ceteris paribus*, arguably *better* to preserve a language rather than to allow it to go extinct. But, having said *that*, we should also acknowledge that it is often hard to tell whether "ceteris" actually is "paribus", as it were.
