NATIONAL TALK BLACK – 11/10/2025

On todays National Talk Black via NIRS – National Indigenous Radio Service we have:

Sam William, Charles Darwin University Northern Institute PhD candidate, talking about the 3D printed maps bringing Elders’ knowledge to life. Multimedia and 3D technology are the latest tools being used by Elders in Maningrida to share their traditional knowledge and ancient stories, facilitated by a collaboration between Charles Darwin University (CDU) academics. The result was 25 videos in six different languages about places along the coastline from Arla (Junction Bay) to Yinangarnduwa (Cape Stewart). Alongside these videos, Mr Williams and the Elders gathered materials such as language areas, clan and location names, and archival information from old anthropologists.
