WHY WE ARE HOLDING THIS EVENT

This will be the first all-indigenous community forum in the East Kimberley for many years. Each panellist will present their perspectives on their vision for the future of the East Kimberley, and how local mob can prosper, socially and economically.

We hope to start a conversation on the path to forging a collective blak vision for the region and how to realise this vision.

It aims to foster greater collaboration among Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations (ACCOs), government agencies and others, to work more closely together on their shared visions.

We hope it also leads to more succession planning within local ACCOs and the region to support the next generation of First Nations leaders.
