Buried in the Sand: Digging deep into Gudjal language and culture

Episode 12: Buried in the Sand: Digging deep into Gudjal language and culture

William Santo is a Gudjal elder, author and musician. Opening with William’s song, ‘Buried in the Sand’, this episode discusses William’s long-term aspiration to uncover Gudjal language resources held in archives and utilise them to rediscover Gudjal history and culture and revitalise the Gudjal language. He is joined by colleagues in this project: linguist Peter Sutton, music researcher Myfany Turpin and linguistic student Alex Anderson. Included in the episode are excerpts from recordings made by Peter in the 1970’s with Gudjal elders and excerpts of the language learning podcast created by William and Alex.

The Sutton recordings are made available courtesy of AIATSIS, Sutton Collection, item 1913A.
