We will think differently about the practice of history and how it is seen and experienced. We will learn from Indigenous history, being inspired by its ways of thinking about time, people’s embeddedness in Country, stories, and song over such a long span. In order to achieve this, we are committed to community-collaborative research.
Sydney Indigenous Research Hub coordinates and supports all Indigenous research at the University, with mentoring and development for academics and Higher Degree Research students. We strive to be a leader in Indigenous research which has high impact in Australia and around the world. We do this by collaborating with communities and supporting our Indigenous researchers.
Australia’s now 122-year-old constitution still doesn’t recognise our first Australians; Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. It’s time it did. By voting Yes you’ll ensure that they are finally recognised in our constitution in a simple and meaningful way, through a Voice to Parliament that will ensure they are heard on the issues that affect their communities. (campaign led by Australians for Indigenous Constitutional Recognition).
The Yothu Yindi Foundation was established in 1990 to promote Yolngu cultural development with community leaders and persons of authority from five regional clan groups: Gumatj; Rirratjingu; Djapu; Galpu; Wangurri. The mission of the YYF is for Yolngu and other Indigenous Australians to have the same level of well-being and life opportunities as non-Indigenous Australians.
The Foundation is a not-for-profit charitable public benevolent institution, with an all Yolngu Board of Directors, and offices in northeast Arnhem Land and Darwin.
All revenues go toward the infrastructure and delivery of education, cultural, health, arts, advocacy and economic programs. The Foundation supports a school, the Garma Institute and stages the annual Garma Festival.
The Yugambeh language people are the traditional custodians of the land located in south-east Queensland and north-east New South Wales, whose ancestors all spoke one or more dialects of the Yugambeh language. We work with and bring the community together through many initiatives centred around cultural and educational exchange, so that future generations have the opportunity to embrace our language, hear our stories and truly connect with their Indigenous legacy as a relevant part of their today and tomorrow.
