Wadu Matyidi- Language of Belonging Resource

About this resource

Wadu Matyidi – A Time Long Gone
Wadu Matyidi is a short animated film set in the early 1800s when Adnyamathanha children of the Flinders Ranges were inspired, schooled and entertained by their interactions with Country. The story is led by three adventurous Adnyamathanha kids who set out for a day of exploration near their camp. The children play games and spook one another with tales of ancient creatures. They see unusual tracks that set their hearts and imaginations racing. Then, unexpectedly they make a discovery that changes their lives forever.
Language of Belonging is an education resource for the Wadu Matyidi animation, including five behind-the-scenes mini-documentaries and a unit of work: My Mob, My Country, My Story, My Heritage, and My Project.
Designed for Years 3-6, this diverse learning program gives students the opportunity to engage with Adnyamathanha language, an interactive language game, and develop their own portfolio.
