Elders & Youth Luncheon

As a much loved and respected Elder of our Community, please enjoy a complimentary lunch hosted by Barengi Gadjin Land Council.  We also invite a young person to celebrate with you in acknowledgement of the next generation of upcoming leaders.

This lunch celebrates you – our Elders and your role in who are today.  Grounded in culture.  Strong in our identity.  Leading change across every field from health and education to media, business and the arts.  Telling our own stories, in our own way, on our own terms.

And this lunch is about the future and supporting our young ones growing up proud.  The return of language.  The return of Country.  The fight for justice continuing with new tools, new voices and the same fire.
