Abstract
The Ngan'gi seasons calendar represents a wealth of Indigenous ecological knowledge. The development of the calendar was driven by a community desire to document seasonal-specific knowledge of the Daly River and its wetlands, including the environmental indicators that act as cues for bush tucker collection.
The calendar also addresses community concern about the loss of traditional knowledge, as older people from the language group pass away and younger people no longer speak Ngan'gi as a first language. - Website,
Notes
The Ngan'gi seasons calendar was developed by key knowledge-holders of the Ngan'gi language from Nauiyu Nambiyu and CSIRO, as part of a Tropical Rivers and Coastal Knowledge project on Indigenous socio-economic values and rivers flows in northern Australia,
