Values and Purpose

---

We are committed to Nation Building principles and practices, as an evidence based form of resistance to settler-colonialism. We join with a global majority of peoples who've experienced colonisation and are committed to:

• the embodiment of our sovereignty

• decolonisation and anti-racism

• building strong First Nations for ourselves and with our neighbours

• creating spaces for our Gulyangarri (kids) to be culturally strong, seen and supported.

We understand our cultural responsibilities to Ngurra and all that Ngurra encompasses. We are committed to:

• the truth-telling of this place; and

• honouring our ancestors, Indigenous knowledges and ongoing kinship systems.

We are committed to our partnerships with the Darug Sustainable Heritage Association and working under endorsement of the Treaty Council, a centralised commission for First Nations Allodial land and waterways ownership.

We share a vision to empower our Communities through initiatives that achieve land back justice, and emancipate mob from ongoing cycles of poverty and dispossession caused by colonisation.
