{"product_id":"9781742585123","title":"Yira Boornak Nyininy","description":"Noongar maam, yok, moyer nyinelangayny bardlanginy wadjela kookondjari-ang. \/ A woman, and a man, and his nephew were shepherding sheep. Presented bilingually in English and Aboriginal Noongar language text, Yira Boornak Nyininy is an Indigenous Australian story about forgiveness and friendship. Left stranded in a tree by his wife, a Noongar man has to rely on his Wadjela friend to help him back down. *** Yira Boornak Nyininy came from the wise and ancient language of the First People of the Western Australian south coast - the Noongar people. Inspired by a story told to the American linguist Gerhardt Laves around 1931, Yira Boornak Nyininy has been workshopped in a series of community meetings as a part of the \"Wirlomin Noongar Language and Stories Project\" to revitalize an endangered language. This story is written in old Noongar, along with a literal English translation, as well as English prose styled by Kim Scott.","brand":"University of Western Australia Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47032495833328,"sku":"9781742585123","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781742585123_p0.jpg?v=1763702986","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781742585123","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
