Comments by "Brad Griffin" (@BradGryphonn) on "American Reacts to Indigenous Languages in Australia" video.

  1. I call gugu Yalanji my home country. It's up on Cape York between Mossman and just South East of Cooktown. It is one of the 20 languages where it is spoken as a first language still. I know a little language and will learn more when I return next year. Wujal Wujal, the main community North of Cape Tribultionis very cool. It's one of those places where you'll see the lads driving down the road with their mullet spears hanging out the window. The Culture is still rich up there.

  2. If you automatically throw comments with links into the spam bucket, there'll be one from me in there with some links to videos about Wujal Wujal in Yalanji lands.

  3. I hope you see this link, Ian. This video was produced in Wujal Wujal, telling the story of water on Country and how important it is.I know all the people in this video, and Norm Tayley, the teacher was the friend I used to share a house in the rainforest with. I worked at the school for a little while, assisting teachers with Infotech and helping the kids with their computers. I also drove the school bus for a while as well as shuttle buses to Cooktown. Anyway, here's the link. I hope you'll react to it. https://youtu.be/ZZXprABVaDQ This is a longer video (24 minutes) but well worth a look. https://youtu.be/6iP3FPHyclU
