Language is the expression of our culture and land. You cannot have one without the other.
We cannot describe our culture and our land if we do not have our language.
About
The North Queensland Regional Aboriginal Corporation Language Centre (NQRACLC)
is set up to help facilitate workshops, lessons, publications, and revival of Aboriginal Languages in the regions that we cover. We assist by holding meetings with key people and elders within the tribe and clans, facilitating dialogue, planning and organising workshops and lessons.
