AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'This Arrernte children's book teaches about family and relationships, alongside English numeracy. It is written in Arrernte with English translations.

'Artweyenhenge merges both First Nations values and world view with Western numeracy learning. Pre-colonisation, there was no need in the thriving and highly functional Arrernte societies to develop any numbers beyond three, other than arrunthe meaning 'many'. This resource therefore only includes Arrernte translations for numbers 1, 2 and 3.'
