“Indigenous communities engage with the Word in its audio form far more readily than its written form …we hope that people will be impacted by the Word as they hear it, and they will then be led to the written word.” Paul Eckert (Production Coordinator RIMS) Australia indigenous culture is predominately an oral ‘story-telling’ culture in which information and traditions are handed down from one generation to the next in the form of verbal stories. In fact in some indigenous languages the Bible translation work is the first and only piece of written language. These people are used to hearing their language in spoken form rather than reading it. As a result the skill of reading is not as valued a skill in many remote communities, many Indigenous Christians in these communities said that their motivation to read well was purely so they could read the Bible.
