About this listen

 In this episode of Guardians of Language and Country, we journey through the dense rainforests of the Daintree to Mossman, on Kuku Yalanji Country. Join host Donnie Johannessen and producer Alden Lyall—a proud Kuku Yalanji man—as they talk with community members about the power of speaking language on Country. From handheld recorders to language apps, we also hear how technology is being used to capture, preserve, and breathe new life into ancient words—building communities of speakers and safeguarding language for generations to come. We also explore how schools are weaving traditional language into learning, and how rangers keep fluency alive through daily practice and cultural connection.
