Do you know the name of the moon in an Indigenous language? If you said no, you’re not alone. Despite their long history, very few Australians are taught the names and stories of Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander people, a poignant point from John-Paul Janke at Science Meets Parliament #SMP2025

Names for the moon in several Aboriginal languages, next to an image of the moon. Examples are Ngalindi (Yolgnu Matha language) and Kakirra (Kaurna people of SA)
