"Language is not just a way of communicating; it identifies who we are and what land we belong to. In language we can express our knowledge of every part of our existence and being proud of who we are. Our people were oral people using their voice and knowledge to pass down stories and songs to our people. It connects us with our stories and songs and dance that we then have the responsibility to pass down to our children for generations to come. This keeps our song line connected.”
