Clip description

A car drives by on the highway. In voice-over, Doreen and Gladys Miller reflect on how the now busy road was a quiet dirt track during their childhood. They tell us about their farming business in Scotdesco, 100km from Ceduna. Daughter-in-law Wanda Miller tells us that the families that own Ceduna and Port Lincoln respect the two elders for their cultural knowledge and language. The women speak the Wirangu language as well as the Kokatha language.

Curator’s notes

by Romaine Moreton

A gentle introduction to the lives and legacy of two elders, the last remaining speakers of the Wirangu language. Doreen and Gladys Miller are greatly respected by the traditional owners of Ceduna and Port Lincoln, and there is an urgency to document their knowledge and wisdom. This documentation is something that is occurring throughout Indigenous communities around the country.
