“I’d like the rest of the world to know that Dja Dja Wurrung still exist. We are still here as a People. We are proud and value our Culture. We honour our Martiinga kuli, and everything that we do, we are doing on behalf of our Martiinga kuli, who didn’t have the voice that we have today.”
Aunty Fay Carter, Dja Dja Wurrung Elder
All that we do is dedicated to our Dja Dja Wurrung Martiinga kuli (Ancestors)
Giyakiki | Our story
Djaara (Dja Dja Wurrung People) have lived on our traditional lands and cared for djandak (Country) over many thousands of years.
Malamiya-yu Gurang
Long ago, before this time
For us, djandak is more than just a landscape, it is more than what is visible to the eye – it is a living entity, which holds the stories of creation and histories that cannot be erased. Our Martiinga kuli looked after this Country and we are duty bound to do the same.
