Who we are & what we do
We are engaged in a wide variety of collaborative projects funded by governments and nongovernment organisations to address particular problems of the moment (e.g. housing, engagement, cultural education for service providers, communication, plant biosecurity, language, & linguistics).
We work collaboratively from the ground-up, understanding the problem from a variety of perspectives, taking seriously the knowledge and authority of both government workers and Aboriginal elders, designing solutions to day-to-day emerging problem in such a way as to subtly change practice on the ground, and thus change the understandings and practices of all concerned groups (including our own as researchers).

- Indigenous Engagement of Indigenous knowledge and governance
