Aboriginal Education News
Yaama
Our Aboriginal children have come together for our first sessions this year. We talked about our culture, where we are from, First Nations people and being proud of our Aboriginal ancestry.
The kids enjoyed listening to and learning a very catchy and lively song called My Culture and Me, written and performed by Gregg Dreise.
Gregg grew up in south-west Queensland in a large family that loves music, art, sport, culture and family. He is very proud of his Kamilaroi and Euahlayi heritage. The Kamilaroi and Euahlayi peoples’ lands extend from south-west Queensland into north-west New South Wales. The song celebrates cherishing and sustaining Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures.
Here is a link to the song on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHCgo7XKcVg
