Governance gives an organisation, community or nation the ways and means to achieve the things that matter to them. It is about how people organise themselves to:

 

  • manage their own affairs
  • decide for themselves what kind of society they want for their future
  • put those decisions into action.

 

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have been practicing governance since time began. What makes it Indigenous governance is the role that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture plays.
