Our Language and Culture There are many languages spoken by different Aboriginal groups in Australia. The Mirrar speak an average of three Aboriginal languages. Of these languages the Gundjehmi Language is the dominant Aboriginallanguage spoken. We have a responsibility to hand the laws and responsibilities of our country to future generations. Aboriginal people hold ceremonies which include dance as part of cultural activity.
Aboriginal people have a kinship system of relationships using skin names.
These skin names identify responsibilities in relationships that we have with each member of our family. The Mirrar are protecting their country when they say no to Jabiluka. There are areas on our land which are sacred. These are known as sacred sites. They are the ancestral creation beings journeys and resting places which require our protection.
