Our Mission and Values
KALACC seeks to be Australia’s premiere organisation for the promotion and maintenance of the traditional aspects of the world’s oldest living culture. Culture is the compass for everything we do.
Since 1987 KALACC has operated successfully as the Kimberley Region’s Peak Indigenous Law and Culture Organisation. We play an important role in influencing government decision-making to incorporate greater recognition of Aboriginal culture in policies and programs. We facilitate artistic performance presentations to the public throughout Australia and internationally and we take a leading role in the repatriation of sacred and heritage objects.
Our Core Values:
Respect - for culture, for tradition, for Elders and for Law
Creativity - teach, encourage and inspire our young people
Unity - ‘Wunan’ - share culture across the region and across the nation
Celebration - showcase indigenous culture and artists to the world; support artistic practice
Leadership - promote dialogue at national, state and regional levels on issues of culture, recognition and reconciliation; stand our ground and provide an example to others.
