About Karlkurla Ngurra Wangka – Speaking on Silky Pear Country
From the publisher's feed
Welcome to Karlkurla Ngurra Wangka – Speaking on Silky Pear Country, where we honour the voices that carry culture, spirit and knowledge across generations.
In this series of conversations, hosted by Anangu Spinifex woman Debbie Carmody, ten remarkable Elders from the Goldfields region of Western Australia have agreed to share their life stories as part of a truth-telling and legacy project.
The conversations you will hear are not just a celebration of resilience, pride and faith; in many cases, they are truly remarkable stories of triumph over adversity.
Prepare to be taken on a poignant journey where you will hear the history of the Goldfields from a First Nations perspective.
This series was supported by the Department of Creative Industries, Tourism and Sport’s Arts Activities in Regional Communities program and The Community Broadcast Foundation, with assistance from ABC Goldfields.
