Aboriginal engagement: aspirations becoming reality
The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission, the Central Land Council and the Desert Peoples’ Centre were among Desert Knowledge CRC’s original partners.
In recent years we have actively sought additional community based Aboriginal organisations as partners to make us more sustainable and productive.
Tapatjatjaka Community Government Council, Tangentyere and Waltja Tjutangku Palyapayi are now affiliates.
Collaboratively- designed protocols help us manage and value Aboriginal knowledge and intellectual property.
Through Research Nintiringtjaku, we work with Aboriginal researchers for a sustainable and skilled Aboriginal research workforce.
Full engagement with Aboriginal people means relevant Desert Knowledge.
