This is our Dream Cultural Compact

The Ngaa Ngayunkurnu Kapukurri Cultural Compact was formed in 2020, with Nyiyaparli traditional owners and Martu custodians coming together to form a mutual agreement to lead the community of Newman forward, on a pathway of mutual respect and understanding.

As the nation looks toward to embedding an Indigenous Voice to Parliament in Australia’s constitution, the Cultural Compact plays a similar role at a local level, empowering the Aboriginal community to dream of a better future, laying down new foundations and planning for a new tomorrow.

The Cultural Compact invites local organisations and businesses to be part of that dream, to commit to embracing new ideas and ways of walking together for the betterment of the whole community.

Come, walk with us.

This is our dream

Thank you to Bradley Hall for kindly allowing us to use his original song, North West, in this video.

The This Is Our Dream Cultural Compact acknowledges the Nyiyaparli Traditional Owners of the Country on which Newman stands and the Martu People as the Custodians of Jigalong which sits in Nyiyaparli Country. We respect and recognise their leaders, past, present and emerging, and we are grateful for the privilege of living and working on this Country.
