Comments on speakers
"Aboriginal names were used by non-aboriginals until the 1960's when teachers demanded that English names be given. Not all young Aboriginal parents know their children's Aboriginal names nowadays but these are recorded on birth certificates. The Groote Eylandt Aborigines speak English with varying degrees of competency."
