Kuku Yalanji

The Kuku Yalanji language itself, and the right to speak it.

The Eastern Kuku Yalanji are the Traditional Owners of the rainforest and coastal country between Mossman and Cooktown in far north Queensland. Kuku Yalanji is still spoken across the region and taught to children. Every word in the Yalanji dictionary is theirs; this app only holds it.
