The Far West Languages Centre initiates and supports the Aboriginal people of the Far West Coast to become empowered by knowing, understanding, speaking and celebrating in their languages, and to reconnect to Cultural Heritage and Country through the Languages.
Our Mission
Far West Languages Centre is ensuring that the Aboriginal Languages of the Eyre Peninsula and the Far West region are documented for future generations to ensure that the Aboriginal culture in South Australia continues as a living tradition handed down through the generations.
The Far West Languages Centre acknowledges and respects Aboriginal peoples as the First Nations People of Australia, and recognises them as Traditional Owners and occupants of land and waters in Australia.
Further, we acknowledge that the spiritual, social, cultural and economic practices of First Nations Peoples come from their traditional connections to lands and waters, and that they maintain their cultural and heritage beliefs, languages and lores which are of ongoing importance to continue to make a unique and irreplaceable contribution to this country.
We acknowledge that First Nations People who have endured past injustice and dispossession of their traditional lands and waters.
