In a partnership between the Oyster Tribe Aboriginal Corporation and the Oyster Care Foundation, with backing from the NSW Government and the Aboriginal Language Trust, this initiative is designed to inspire and empower. The goal is simple but powerful: to help these young girls reconnect with their identity and community by learning the traditional ways of their ancestors.

Through hands-on cultural immersion and language revitalization, the program offers a space where participants can embrace their heritage, guided by the wisdom of respected Aboriginal Elders. It’s about building confidence, fostering a sense of belonging, and ensuring that the stories, language, and traditions of the Aboriginal community continue to thrive for generations to come.

Programs like Connecting to the Voice of Our Elders are more than just cultural education—they are a lifeline for traditions that form the heart of Aboriginal identity. By championing these efforts, we ensure that the vibrant stories, languages, and practices of Aboriginal people will thrive for generations to come.

Together, let’s strengthen cultural resilience, honor the past, and inspire a future where Aboriginal traditions continue to shine brightly.
