  • Yirrikipayiyirrikipayi Yirrikipayi in Tiwi Translates As Salt-Water Crocodile
    YirrikipayiYirrikipayi Yirrikipayi in Tiwi translates as salt-water crocodile Significance of the animal The salt-water crocodile is the largest living reptile and fiercest predator in the world. Indigenous people across the Top End of Australia have lived and hunted alongside crocodiles for thousands of years. Yirrikipayi (crocodile) is a significant animal to Tiwi people and culture. It’s one of many Tiwi dreamings or totems, which are inherited from the father, and with it come a set of responsibilities and a special dance - all taught and passed down from birth. About the language Tiwi is an Australian language spoken by approximately 2000 Tiwi people, most of who reside on the Tiwi Islands, north of Darwin in the Northern Territory. According to the UNESCO Atlas of the World’s Languages in Danger database, the state of the Tiwi language is vulnerable. Tiwi has evolved since European settlement, and there are now two variations of Tiwi spoken. Older speakers can speak Traditional or Hard Tiwi, which is also used in ceremonies, and the younger generation speak what is called Modern Tiwi. Tiwi is a stand alone language with no connection or relationship to languages on the mainland of Australia. DID YOU KNOW ? At the time of European settlement in 1788, over 250 languages with more than 700 dialects were spoken across Australia. CLASSROOM ACTIVITIES Today, only about 80 of those languages are Using the AIATSIS Map of Indigenous spoken, mainly by elders. Australia, can you find Tiwi country? Fewer than 20 Indigenous languages are currently What other animals can you think of that being learnt by Australian children.

    )!#$#$1,$ #/.&%2%.#% 02/'2!- Delegate Handbook p1 We are all aware of the links between the global economic system, growing inequalities between rich and poor, climate change, and environmental degradation. The question is, what do we – in the community, government and corporate sectors – do about this situation? Answering this question lies at the heart of this conference. Global changes to address these questions are certainly important, but at the same time, inspiring, innovative and practical answers are also being developed in local communities around the world, supported by people of good will across all sectors. WEST END WOMENS WORK – Bright Bags! We thank you for our beautiful conference bags! Sebena, Esperance, Janine, Godalive, Astrid, Mireille, Julie & Judy. We are: women with young children who want to watch them grow, women who have limited English skills, women who have family circumstances which require our presence at home, women who want to be around to be involved with our teenagers as they navigate their way through their adolescence, women who don’t want to go out at 2am in the morning to shift work and then sleep through the day just to cope while our children are left to their own devices, women who are prepared to work hard to put food on the table women who want to build their skills and use them to produce useful items, women who want our work to fit in with our circumstances, women working together. When we started out with the idea to develop the conference bags, it was with the intention and hope to provide an opportunity for ourselves to work from home.
