PROJECT

Ngaluk Waangkiny

Meaning ‘Us Talking’ in Noongar, Ngaluk Waangkiny is a landmark, multi-media storytelling project designed to honour and preserve the legacy of Elders. Serving as a continuation of CAN’s Rekindling Stories on Country program, this project documents the significant stories of the Elders; their fight for human rights, their unique experiences and their contributions to the cultural landscape.

This project has created a legacy for our Elders' families, for our state and for our country.
 

Undertaken in 2022, the first iteration of the program in Boorloo (Perth) saw CAN partner with ABC Perth, City of Perth and the Aesop Foundation to produce a film, podcast and book that shine a light on how the Elders’ lived experiences have influenced their contribution to the City’s Reconciliation Action Plan, with the resulting creative works representing an important legacy for future generations of Noongar people.

In 2025 CAN partnered with Art on the Move to tour Ngaluk Waanginy to the Museum of the Goldfields in Kalgoorlie-Boulder, 21 February – 28 April, where it served as a catalyst for a new project, Legacies.
