Join us on Wednesday 12 August for the 25th Vincent Lingiari Memorial Gathering, featuring respected Yolŋu Elder, actor, filmmaker, 2024 Northern Territory Local Hero and Yothu Yindi co-founder Witiyana Marika.
Marking 60 years since the 1966 Wave Hill Walk-Off and the beginning of the modern Aboriginal land rights movement, this year’s theme is:
“ngumpin, kartiya karru-la jintaku-la” — blackfella, whitefella, unite as one.
Witiyana will reflect on the enduring legacy of Vincent Lingiari and share insights on culture, truth-telling, reconciliation and the importance of walking together towards a more just future.
The free public gathering will be opened and closed by special guest violinist Eric Avery, Kabi Marrawuy Mumbulla.
Hosted by Charles Darwin University, the annual gathering honours the courage, leadership and legacy of Vincent Lingiari and the Gurindji people. It brings communities together to reflect on justice, equality, reconciliation and our shared future.
