Our Aspirations

Our vision is one of social and cultural exchange between Aboriginal tribes. We hope to present a creative and ongoing vision for Aboriginal youth by generating self-employment, economic stability and cultural affirmation.

With your help we aim to promote an awareness of values of continuance of Aboriginal community life and family; to represent an Aboriginal perspective in reconciliation programs and events.

We appreciate any community support or involvement that would assist us in achieving these goals.
