Nyiyaparli Widi

The Nyiyaparli Cultural Guardians invite you to join them on an exciting journey through Nyiyaparli Yurlu, also known as Country. Starting from the Ngawanykurrana stockyards camp, located on Palkarra (the Fortescue Marsh), you will explore the rugged Pilbara region of Western Australia. From the plains to the wetlands, and from Marnta to Kurtuwa and Panpatina, you will discover the beauty of Nyiyaparli Yurlu.

As you journey through Nyiyaparli Yurlu, you will have the opportunity to collect unique cultural items, plants, and animals, as well as essential camp tools. Along the way, you will also learn everyday Nyiyaparli words and their meanings. Each level presents new challenges and the chance to earn Paathupaathu (respect) points and increase your knowledge of Nyiyaparli language and culture.

The game features authentic Nyiyaparli cultural items to discover and collect, as well as the opportunity to listen to and learn authentic Nyiyaparli language while playing. You will also have the chance to unlock power-ups and tools to boost your gameplay and compete for high scores. By replaying levels, you can improve your skills and uncover hidden treasures that unlock cultural words and items.

Whether you are new to Nyiyaparli culture or a member of the Nyiyaparli mob, Nyiyaparli Widi is a super fun and educational game suitable for all ages. Are you ready to take on the challenge and walk the path of a Cultural Guardian? Let's go!
