Gnaala Bidi: Our Pathway
Because Noongar culture is strongest when we are connected to each other and our kaartdijin.
We act as a body to bring the voices of Noongar people together to strengthen outcomes for Noongar people, and place our land and culture at the centre of everything we do we do.
We support strong regional corporations, who work with SWALSC to ensure Noongar people receive the services and opportunities they deserve, and to strengthen and protect Noongar culture, land and heritage.
That leads to more economic opportunities for the entire Noongar community, a stronger connection to land and culture that is celebrated by both the Noongar people and the broader community, and better social and economic outcomes for Noongar people.
That results in a strong, sustainable, united Noongar Nation which respects our kaartdijin and allows our koort to heal.
