Culture & Heritage
Nari Nari’s deep connection to their land and their ongoing efforts to preserve their culture and environment highlight the resilience and richness of their heritage.
The Nari Nari tribal council engages with the broader community to raise awareness about their culture and heritage. This includes participating in cultural festivals, educational programs, and partnerships with local schools and organizations
The Triple C Youth Development program incorporates re-introduction of traditional practises, ‘on country’ opportunities to share experiences, concerns, and stories in an environment free of judgement and punishment. It also introduces culturally secure therapies to address underlying trauma and other psychological issues being experienced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in Australia.
Cultural Connection to Country (Triple C ) Program
Aboriginal Culture is one rooted in deep respect—respect for each other, for Lore and for land. Lore is a big part of our culture and everything NNTC does.
Traditionally, if mobs ever had to cross on to neighbouring lands, they would first seek permission. If granted, a ceremony would take place to grant the travellers safe passage while on their land.
Today, this practice has evolved into what we know as a Welcome to Country.
A representative of NNTC will perform a cleansing smoking ceremony and recite an appropriate Welcome to Country, to ensure the success of events held on the traditional lands of the Nari People.
