The Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait
Islander Studies (AIATSIS) has officially unveiled the AIATSIS
Centre for Australian Languages and the ‘Our Languages Keep Us
Strong’ program, which is dedicated to protecting and preserving
Indigenous Australian cultures and knowledge.
The centre and program are proudly supported by Rio Tinto, which
in 2022 committed A$10 million over five years towards their
establishment and implementation.
Since its inception in 2023, ‘Our Languages Keep Us Strong’ has
made significant progress towards its key objectives of supporting
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities to strengthen
their languages locally and increase national and international
understanding of the value of Australia’s first languages.
AIATSIS Interim Chief Executive Officer, Leonard Hill said
language is critical in preserving cultural identity.
“AIATSIS is dedicated to community-led language revitalisation
efforts, and I firmly believe that our key objectives, including
consistent baseline documentation, community-based revitalisation,
support for teaching and learning, evidence-based monitoring, and
fostering collaboration among language communities, can pave the
way for Indigenous cultures to thrive.”
Rio Tinto Chief Executive, Australia, Kellie Parker said “The
launch of the AIATSIS Centre for Australian Languages is a
significant milestone in the ongoing effort to preserve and
celebrate the linguistic diversity of Australia’s First
Peoples.
“AIATSIS plays a vital role in preserving Aboriginal and Torres
Strait Islander knowledge and cultures, ensuring their recognition,
respect and celebration.
“Through community-driven initiatives, AIATSIS, is paving the
way for a future where Indigenous languages continue to thrive,
ensuring that the rich tapestry of Indigenous culture endures for
future generations.
“Rio Tinto’s support for this and other initiatives is part of
our ‘Living Languages Living Cultures program’ which invests in
preserving, reviving, and celebrating Indigenous cultures in
Australia.”
The AIATSIS Centre for Australian Languages was officially
launched at the 2024 AIATSIS Summit in Naarm (Melbourne) last
month.
Note to editors:
AIATSIS is located on Ngunnawal Country in Canberra and is
Australia’s only national cultural institution solely dedicated to
preserving and celebrating the diverse history, cultures, and
heritage of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples.
Established in 1964, AIATSIS has protected Aboriginal and Torres
Strait Islander Peoples culture and heritage by preserving and
caring for a vast collection of over 1 million items encompassing
film, photographs, audio recordings, art, objects, printed
materials, teachings, and more.
The AIATSIS Centre for Australian Languages is a program of
initiatives, projects and activities, rather than a physical
centre.
In 2023, Rio Tinto launched the Living Languages Living Culture
(LLLC) program as part of its commitment to find better ways of
working with communities and Indigenous Peoples. This initiative in
Australia is focused on the preservation and revitalisation of
traditional language and culture. Through work nationally and
locally, the program aims to promote a deeper connection to
Country, raise awareness, and provide crucial support to Indigenous
communities. Educational initiatives, language immersion, and
cultural programs are focus areas of this effort to revitalise and
celebrate Indigenous languages and cultures.
