The Indigenous Governance Awards share the success of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and organisations from around Australia...
This symbol shows how we are moving to have strong, representative government. The symbol is about Thamarrurr – the traditional government of our ancestors and the building blocks of the future. Our new Thamarrurr Council is built on these foundations:
- 20 clans
- 2 representatives from each clan
- every clan is equal
Today, we are beginning to regain control of our lives. We want to be regarded and treated as able-bodied citizens of Australia.
