MIRIWOONG ABORIGINAL SEASONAL CALENDAR

Description: MIRIWOONG SEASONAL CALENDAR. This seasonal calendar was produced as part of the Miriwong Seasonal Calendar project in the Northern Territory. It is a wonderful educational tool that allows children to explore the weather of our country as observed by our first peoples. Ideal for educators wishing to expose children to different languages and dialects, encouraging an appreciation for linguistic diversity. This resource also encourages children to understand Aboriginal culture and its connection to the environment around them. In the words of Miriwoong elder Button Jones, "This is good for us. We gave them our knowledge and now they are using it. It will help us Miriwoong people keep looking after our country." Mirima Council vice chair Annette Chunama adds, "We have been learning about the seasons from past generations and are passing them on to our children. Now we can do this with the help of 21st century technology and share our knowledge with the wider community." Miriwoong traditional owners are confident that the use of long-established knowledge combined with scientific efforts will have a positive impact on the understanding of climate and climate change. Being based on information passed on from generation to generation, traditional knowledge about seasonal patterns can add valuable insights to modern studies. By sharing this calendar through a portal on the Bureau of Meteorology webpage, it will be acknowledged that ancient ways of land management linked to living within the environment can be combined with modern conservation techniques.
