Literacy is presented in the broadest sense in this article. Being literate is about sustaining a particular world view and about the survival of a distinct and vital culture. Being literate is about re-symbolizing and reinterpreting past experience while honor ing traditional values. Being literate is about living these values in contemporary times. Being literate is about visioning a future in which an Aboriginal way of being will continue to thrive. Meaningful Aboriginal literacy is transformative. It will develop and find expression in everything that is done. Basic literacy skills will devolve from a unique and wholistic cultural perspective.
