    Wangka Maya, the Pilbara Aboriginal Language Centre.
    SHARP, J ; THIEBERGER, N ; SIMPSON, J ; NASH, D ; LAUGHREN, M ; AUSTIN, PK ; ALPHER, B (Pacific Linguistics Publishers, 2001)
    Aboriginal Language Centres occupy an exciting and innovative space in the fringe between academia and the people used by academia as its source of data. Now with funding that has lasted over a decade, language centres have the potential to train local people, to record and store information about local languages, and to promote the use of the languages in schools and other venues. In this paper we discuss the establishment and ongoing function of Wangka Maya, the Pilbara Aboriginal Language Centre in Port Hedland, Western Australia (WA).
