Angela Warrŋira (Language Worker)

My name is Angela Warrŋira. I am a language worker at ARDS Aboriginal Corporation.  The language team works on translations for Yolŋu Matha languages, with Yolŋu Radio, and listens to ancient languages in milkarri (women cries) and manikay (songs). Here at ARDS, we are helping people in our North-East Arnhem communities.
