7th Annual Yule River Bush Meeting 2021

The On-Country Bush Meeting at Yule River took place on August 25 and 26 which saw hundreds of Traditional Owners from across the Pilbara come together to discuss critical issues affecting their communities.

A unanimous decision was reached to reject proposed amendments to the Act based on a lack of consultation.

Nyangumarta rangers share their story in film

Each year the Nyangumarta rangers produce a ‘performance story’ to show the progress made during the year. The story can use any type of media, provided it describes the achievements, and sometimes the challenges, of the reporting period. For 2019, the rangers have chosen to produce a short video about their activities. It also includes reflections from Elders and shows the growth of the Nyangumarta Indigenous Protected Area and Ranger program.
