Language Crisis 

Yidumduma Bill Harney discusses with Ernie Dingo the language and culture crisis in his community. This began when the Wardaman were forced from their land in the late 60's/70's, ironically with equal wages and rights law. Today about 100 people speak and understand limited traditional language. Only a handful speak full language. Segment used with permission from CAAMA TV series Talking Languages with Ernie Dingo. www.ydproject.org
