Knowing who you are and where you come from is an essential part of identity and pride for Koorie people and our aim is to be a part of this process of rebuilding pride for the individuals and families we assist.
Objectives
Our main objective is to be a part of our community’s healing process through “knowing who you are and where you come from, finding families, rebuilding communities”. We view our role as an important part of creating a sense of wellbeing in the Koorie community through providing knowledge of family and ancestors. Koorie people have been dispossessed of this knowledge through the policies and practices of past governments including the taking away of children and community and family breakdown that began with the original dispossession of people from ancestral lands.
