Economic development

Why Warriors has a long history of helping Yolngu People get into business. In the past we supported Yolngu for seven years through the AHED PROJECT. Since then we have been trying to build online learning materials so Yolngu can understand economic and business issues in building the Djambajtmarram Yolngu Learn Site. While at the same time developing training materials so that other mainstream Australians could develop the awareness, knowledge and skill to work with Yolngu groups in a way where they can develop their own businesses. In 2014 I wrote the document “Getting Yolngu Back Into Business”. this was based on our AHED project success and the key things we learned. Plus we pulled together over 40 years of conversation with Yolngu about the type of business that they want to get back into.

Yes, the businesses they want to get back into. In the past Yolngu had a very deep sense and knowledge of business, having not only traded nationally for thousands of years across Australia but also from their International trade that existed for centuries before Captian Cook visited Australia.

A lot of this business can only be seen today in their Economic language
