Jim Crosthwaite
Sandra Edmonds and Jim Crosthwaite have set up a fund called Settler Families Giving Back to support autonomous Indigenous groups that build capacity and resilience amongst their members and the wider community. In this submission, they discuss their family history and how their fund has helped support the Dardi Munwuurro football team and Kiilalaana. They state, "It is important to acknowledge and take ownership of our history without feeling guilty. We all need to investigate our histories through each family line no matter when the first of our ancestors came to Australia."
