Yankunytjatjara Animations

In 2025, MLT trainee Haymish Moosha animated a series of Yankunytjatjara books to make them more engaging and accessible for kids. By adding colour, sound, animation, and music, Haymish has brought to life to three titles from the Yankunytjatjara Picture Book Series, originally produced in 2015 as a collaboration between the the Mobile Language Team, Mimili Aṉangu School and the Yankunytjatjara Community.
