Our Elders.
An Aboriginal Elder is someone recognised as a custodian of traditional lore and cultural beliefs, who also has permission to share this knowledge.
Ngarluma Elders are a vital part of our community and are involved in the daily management of Ngarluma Aboriginal Corporation (NAC). Any major Ngarluma activities and concerns are always discussed with Elders and their recommendations are given considerable weight to any decisions made.
Our elders:
- Provide advice on Native Title and heritage matters
- Go on Country to assist survey teams
- Are crucial in the preservation of language and culture
