Vision of the old people for the Yolngu of the homelands.
“To determine our own future, to manage our own affairs, to become self sufficient so that the homeland mala (clans) can continue to live in peace and harmony.”
Our mission
Our mission is to support the Yolngu members of the Laynhapuy homeland communities serviced by the Corporation through programs that deliver:
• Maintenance and protection of country and culture
• Employment, training and economic development opportunities

In the words of our Vice Chairperson Barayuwa Mununggurr:
“For Yolngu, the homelands are our flesh and our bones, the homes of our ancestor and where we will be laid to rest. Our homelands are a part of us, as we are a part of the homelands.”
