Word Up Elaine Magias

As broadcast on ABC RN

Elaine Magias is a Kaurna Narangga woman and learning language wasn't so much something she wanted to do… it was something she NEEDED to do…

Language keeps Elaine grounded, connecting her to Country and her ancestors.

Elaine shared some Kaurna words, including a word that describes how learning language makes her feel.
