Director for Local Decision Making for Groote Eylandt, Justin Sorenson, and Yadha Muru Foundation Founder Sean Gordon visited and spoke with the community of Groote Eylandt, visiting Alyangula Area School, Umbakumba Community School, Angurugu School and Milyakburra School.
As part of the Yadha Muru Foundation’s City-Country Partnerships Program, we are committed to creating a brighter future for our communities and the nation by doing the very best for our children.
We acknowledge the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Nations who were the first sovereign peoples of the Australian continent and its adjacent islands, and possessed it under their own laws and customs.
We pay respect to their Elders - past, present and future. We make a commitment to move forward in a spirit of reconciliation. We value the unique status of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the original custodians of these lands and waters. Our nation must have the courage to own the truth and to heal the wounds of its past so that we can move on together at peace with ourselves. We want a future where all Australians enjoy their rights, accept their responsibilities, and have the opportunity to achieve their full potential. We dare to hope for a united country where all Australians respect this land of ours; value the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander heritage; and value the unique cultures of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders and those who have come more recently to this land.
