Kado is one of only three speakers of Ngalia. He designed an app to pass down his knowledge to the next generation. The remote town of Leonora, more than 800 kilometres from Perth, is an unlikely technology hub, but its only school has been chosen to launch a new app aimed at preserving language and culture.
Some people are hair-on-fire screaming, as they well should be, over the accelerating process of species extinction. Language & cultural extinction is proceeding at an ever faster pace.
Thanks for highlighting this point of countervailing hope.
