Startegic Plan

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

I have been fortunate to have had experience in promoting and advocating health and well-being through Cultural ways of being having had the opportunity to learn and travel extensively through- out Australia and overseas with First Peoples. This has affirmed my view that relationship with Country and connection to Culture through our ancestral values, beliefs, and practices is of paramount importance for First Peoples.

Current issues relating to our ecology and social systems have increasingly focussed our attention on the protection, restoration and regeneration of Country through First Peoples ways of doing. It is our view that our clan needs to maintain our Law/ Lore and rekindle our Ancestral ways of Being while at the same time evolving and adapting in culturally accountable ways to meet the challenges of an increasingly fast-paced, dis-connected extractive and imbalanced world.

Of particular importance is our cultural wellbeing which is interrelated and interconnected to the health of our Country, our Waterways, and Skies. It is vital to our spiritual wellbeing and continuance that our Stories, Songs, Dances and Sacred sites are protected and maintained for future generations.
Access to Country, self-determination, and active custodianship is essential if we are to begin to assist our mother-earth in restoring the balance and well- being of both Country and People and to this end, we are in the process of developing a major fund- raising effort to purchase land and establish the Yalangkurr Cultural Wellbeing Centre.
