Gould League is proud to offer a new excursion experience for school
students which has evolved from its Professional Development Program
for teachers and Adult Education for the community in partnership
with Yelakitj Moort Nyungar Assoc Inc,
descendants of the Balardong Nyungar people and traditional custodians
of the Herdsman Lake region. |
Description:
A guided tour of sacred Nyungar sites in the Perth region. This half-day
or full-day guided tour of the significant Nyungar sites around the Perth
Metropolitan region is designed to immerse students in a sensory experience
of Nyungar land, to appreciate traditional Nyungar culture and practice
and the importance and relevance of Nyungar culture today.
At the end
of this learning experience students will:
- have a basic historical
and cultural overview of the local Nyungar culture and language
- have participated
in fundamental Nyungar practices such as Smoking ceremony and Nyungar
Dance
- have visited local
significant Nyungar sites in the Perth region and have an understanding
of their cultural significance
- experience the
link between Nyungar past to the present through traditional storytelling
Nyungar participants will:
- have a greater
sense of identity and place through investigating and experiencing their
traditions and land with their people.
