Treasures & Wisdom
"Many non-indigenous Australians are under the belief that our city cousins have been dsposessed of their traditional heritage, when in fact nothing could be further from the truth. The Treasures & Wisdom Coherence wishes to pose this question. 'What if Captain Cook had landed in the centre of Australia? Would this mean that we would be living under the same circumstances as today? Would indigenous people from the East Coast of Australia be considered to be living in a traditional lifestyle in comparison to that of indigenous people living in the centre of Australia who would be considered urban?"

The conference philosophy symbolically portrays that there are as many different aspects to culture in this country as there are regions, therefore the diversity that comes with this is uniquely Australian.

Today there is a thirst and longing from many of our younger people in relation to language, art and dance to be passed on. The conference's primary aim is to highlight positive culture and heritage projects that are succeeding at all levels.

The conference is being organised by Conference Services Australia. The company is totally owned and operated by indigenous people.
