Keeping Traditional Language Alive - Guugu Yimidhirr

This video shows how traditional language is incorporated in everyday life in Cooktown. We speak with Alberta Hornsby, Irene Hammett and Sonja Gibson who share some of their thoughts on how this is being achieved through language classes at the local primary school, bilingual books and family life in the home. This video was filmed in the Cooktown Public Library with assistance from the library staff.
