Our Values

Our values are important to our cultural and social identity and include:

• the Larrakia Nation Protocols;
• the Larrakia identity as the foundation of the Larrakia Nation;
• the survival and responsiveness of Larrakia culture to the dynamics of colonisation, urbanisation and the growth of a thriving multicultural city;
• our role (past and present) in welcoming visitors onto our land and in our struggle for recognition of our land rights;
• recognition of our role as the host of this land through managing country, conducting ceremonial activities, welcoming and assisting visitors, coordinating activities on Larrakia country and educating visitors about Larrakia people, their land and their culture;
• being responsive to opportunities and change, while maintaining a commitment to Larrakia cultural integrity;
• a commitment to and a belief in the mutual benefit of services being accessible by all (not only Larrakia); and
• our position as an Indigenous role model in the areas of governance, program management and development.
