Recently, the MLT’s Celena Aardenburg was a guest lecturer in a Community and Culture class for CASM (the Centre for Aboriginal Studies in Music). The MLT and CASM have a longstanding relationship with multiple collaborations between the two centres, with MLT having been invited to guest lecture for CASM in previous years.

In the lecture, Celena discussed her cultural and language experience as a Nedut’en woman from British Columbia, Canada, growing up Indigenous away from her nation while still keeping a cultural connection, and the challenges that come with it. Celena has built her cultural identity through her life experiences and uses this to help support the work she does in communities across South Australia for the MLT.

What if literacy isn’t just reading and writing?
For Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, knowledge is also shared through yarning, storytelling, culture, family and Country.
🎙️ This Indigenous Literacy Day, Jaylon sits down with Aboriginal educator and advocate Jasmine Miller to yarn about Indigenous literacy, the importance of seeing ourselves reflected in education, and why Country is one of our greatest teachers.
