Country Needs People - Supporter Voices

Our indigenous peoples are the heart mind spirit and soul of this country and that position and sovereignty should never be taken away again from them. Education has, unfortunately, always been seen as a means only to employment and out here in remote WA there are very few culturally relevant jobs, if any jobs at all. For the young people to see their family and elders getting paid to work and protect country and therefore law and culture is extremely significant and has a rippling effect throughout the whole community. Please let this continue!

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.
