Country Needs People - Supporter Voices

As a white Australian there is nothing more uplifting than seeing Indigenous youth being empowered to meld the modern techniques of land and cultural management with the knowledge of country that has been practiced for thousands of years. We have a unique opportunity to preserve an ancient culture and provide meaningful employment for indigenous individuals of all ages that draws on the best of both indigenous and western knowledge. It would be my hope that through this interaction of two cultures we achieve true reconcilliation.

Country Needs People is a national not-for-profit organisation born from the support of hundreds of Traditional Owners around the country.

We pay our respects to all the First Nations people around Australia and their unbroken commitment to keep Country strong on land and sea. We acknowledge Indigenous partners, Traditional Owners, Elders past, present and emerging and extend our appreciation of their support and guidance of our daily work.

ALWAYS WAS, ALWAYS WILL BE, ABORIGINAL LAND.
