# data[].attributes.body
Theme: Identity
This resource is from ABC Kids Listen is one of the broadcast from Australian Broadcasting Corporation. I have chosen this resource because ; it can be quite easy and beneficial for children to listen during quiet time or circle time. It is also suitable for kindergarten children, the language is easy to understand, clear and it contains colours and songs.

The resource is relates to identity and Country as the host and the guest singer are emphasizing that every week  they are talking about from different Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Countries from all around Australia.

The hosts (Rudi Bremer) and the singer ( Gamilaroi Country girl Loren Ryan)  greeting the listeners by saying Hello (Yama) in Gamilaroi language. Loren is also teaching the children how to say colours in her language and talks about her Country in a pride which gives listeners the idea of how Aboriginal People are connected to their Country, their mob and every creature in their Country which identifies their identity.

Loren is singing ‘Gamilaroi ‘version of I can sing a Rainbow song. This resource is valuable for children to understand different languages and cultures. Language and culture are the most important aspect of identity. Tabouret-Keller, A. ( 2017) calls attention to “’the language spoken by somebody and his or her identity as a speaker of this language are inseparable so introducing children First Nations languages and encouraging children to acknowledge that many languages are spoken by First Nation Peoples in all Australia will lead children to understand and respect the identity of First Nations.

Read Aloud book session from Youtube of the book How the Birds got their Colours by Mary Albert and Pamela Lofts . It is a Dreaming Story which promotes understanding of Aboriginal culture and practice. I have chosen this resource because it is age appropriate for kindergarten children and also illustration is really eye catching for this age group. At this age children learn to help each other through social interactions and this book is emphasizing helping each other and being there for your friend and your family is right thing to do. It also worth noting that book indicates that if you help each other you will become strong and colourful just like birds

In that case helping the community, helping your people is such an important aspect for First Nation culture.

Reciprocal relationships and reciprocity is a big part of Aboriginal culture As Geia, L. et al (2013) indicates that reciprocity means be of benefit to other people and all First Nations Peoples to contribute to community equally. Bourke, E. at al (1995) explains that in Aboriginal culture every person is related to anyone else responsible to help and care for each other and land and animals.

YARN evaluation

Y-Year- The book published in 1983 and based on a story told by Mary Albert, of the Bardi people, to Aboriginal children living in Broome, Western Australia. It is quite an old book however the read aloud on Youtube produced in 2020 by Rainbow serpent & the blue bird but it lacks information about the reader.

A-Author- The author Mary Albert identifies herself Aboriginal in fact this story was told to her by her mother. The book published by Scholastic and it is the largest publisher of children book of Australia.

R-Representations- The book use present day language and age appropriate language. No ethnocentric term are used

Nouns- The book includes diverse knowledge of country and language

Sensitivity- No Aboriginal People are pictured and the story told by Aboriginal person who has permission for the book.

Theme-Country
ABC Kids Television Channel provides meaningful and educational resources for all Australian teachers, parents and children to learn and understand the histories and current realities of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People I have chosen this episode because it was really meaningful to see the children all around the country wit their country names and traditional dresses. The children all around the country were also saying hello in their language. This particular episode also demonstrates how County is important for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People. As Kwaymullina (2005) explains “For Aboriginal peoples, Country is much more than a place to live. Country is animals, rocks, rivers, trees water and sky and humans who continue to live in land. As teachers it is important to emphasise how the land and Country is so important for First Nation People and we need to show respect by Acknowledging of the Country as two hosts did it in the video.

Moreover children on the video say Hello in their language and it is crucial for children to use their own language. Using mother tongue for everyday language will develop common ground between Indigenous and Non-Indigenous Australians.

I would like to use YARN First Nations resource evaluation tool for this online recourse;

Y- Year- The resource was produced in 2022 .The resource is up to date and it is contemporary indeed it was aired in 2022.

A- Author-The resource was produced by ABC Kids is the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's part-time channel. ABC Kids mentioned on the website that Traditional Owners consulted in the creation of any episodes. Two hosts of the episode clearly named their Country and perform Acknowledgment of Country at the beginning of the episode

R-Representations- The resource uses present-day language with some samples of Aboriginal languages. No ethnocentric terms are used.

Nouns- The resource shows diverse knowledge of different language groups around the Country. No disrespectful language, names were used.

Sensitivity- As it mentions on the website of ABC all cultural knowledge, videos, photos shared with permission from Traditional Owners.

This resource is a great tool to promote children’s understanding of the cultures of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island Peoples and promoting a better understanding and appreciation of culture and history. There are many read aloud online resources for the book however I have chosen specifically this video because the session was held on National Reconciliation Week and Selena is explaining why this week is important. She also explains why Aboriginal People call their elders Aunty and Uncle which is important information about the culture. The language in this video is very age appropriate for kindergarten children.

I would like to use YARN First Nations resource evaluation tool for this online recourse. As Shay, M. & Oliver, R. ( 2021) indicates that YARN is the one of the tool that teacher can be sure that the source is appropriate for children to extend their knowledge and get an correct information.

Y- Year- The resource was produced July 2022. The resource is up to date considering it is quite new resource. The resource also recorded on the National Reconciliation Week which is a celebration of Indigenous history and culture in Australia and foster reconciliation discussion and activities.

A-Author-The resource itself is a Youtube video created by Captain Starlight who broadcasts their very own live TV show from hospitals all over Australia. On the other hand the book is on the video written by Senior Wurundjeri elder of the Kulin Nation, Aunty Joy Wandin Murphy. However Selena is reading the book and she forgot to mention her Country to the audience. As a teacher I would like to know her Country to explain the children there are many Countries in Victoria

Representations- The resource uses present day and child appropriate language to explain the meaning of Country for Aboriginal people. The resource also explains the mob system in a children level and encourages children to ask questions about culture, history and language

Nouns-The resource demonstrates to the children that we need to appreciate land and connect the people and community.

Sensitivity-No Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander Peoples were pictured and cultural knowledge shared in an appropriate way with permission from Traditional Owners
