Yorta Yorta, Narrandjeri, Taungurung woman Nerita Waight shares the strength of First Peoples and ongoing connection to culture, community and Country
"Terrible things have been done to us throughout the last 230 years of colonisation, especially by the legal system, but we are still here, we have survived. We are the oldest continuous culture on earth because of our strength based on our connection to culture, community and Country.”
Yorta Yorta, Narrandjeri, Taungurung woman Nerita Waight shares the strength of First Peoples and ongoing connection to culture, community and Country.
We can't change the truth of our past, but by accepting and understanding it, we can walk forward together to a better shared future. For First Peoples and all Victorians.
First the talk. Now the walk.
The true path forward starts here.
