Impressions of Baniyala: A Remote NT Indigenous Community with a Future
Wednesday, 8 July 2009
For a number of years the CIS has been researching and writing about remote Indigenous communities. Four years ago, the CIS and Sydney Cove Rotary had the opportunity to become directly involved with one of those communities - Baniyala Homeland. This Policy Point Lecture is being held to hear a progress report on Baniyala four years on.
Come and join us for what promises to be a fascinating insight into what can germinate in a remote community with a strong leader and a community determined to break the cycle.
Speakers
Professor Helen Hughes, author of Lands of Shame , will talk about the policy issues at play in Baniyala and other remote homeland communities.
Andy Buttfield from the Sydney Cove Rotary will talk and show pictures about the four years he has spent working with Baniyala on community development.
Sara Hudson, CIS Indigenous Affairs Policy Analyst, will talk about her recent trip to Baniyala through a series of photographic images.
