Australian children’s series *Bluey* is being dubbed into an Indigenous Australian language for the first time. Multiple outlets report that five episodes, drawn from seasons one and two, have been translated and dubbed in Yolŋu Matha, a First Nations language spoken by Yolŋu communities in north-east Arnhem Land in Australia’s Northern Territory. The initiative is timed for NAIDOC Week, which commemorates Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in Australia. One report notes that the dubbing includes a local voice cast, including the character Bandit voiced by a founding member of the rock band King Stingray. Other sources describe the release as part of NAIDOC Week programming and emphasise that while *Bluey* is already available in many languages worldwide, this is its first availability in an Australian Indigenous language. The episodes are now prepared for audiences who speak or are learning Yolŋu Matha, expanding the show’s language offerings in Australia.
