Return Lee Point to Larrakia People

Lee Point in Darwin is a sacred area of Larrakia Dreaming, ceremony and history that is currently under threat of being destroyed to build 800 houses for the military and privatisation of Aboriginal land.

Groundswell Grants

2023

40000

This grant supported three young Larrakia women – Laniyuk, Cyan Sue-Lee and Sharna Nakata – to build public and political support for returning Lee Point to Larrakia care and protection. The campaign combined storytelling, art, community organising and direct advocacy, reaching hundreds of thousands of people, gathering more than 17,000 petition signatures and mobilising supporters to contact decision-makers and make submissions. The work also supported frontline action and advocacy for a Larrakia-owned future for Lee Point, keeping cultural protection, land rights and community leadership at the centre.

Wherever we are in this country, we are on Country.

We acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the first inhabitants and Traditional Custodians of the lands and waters where we live, learn and work. We pay our respects to Elders past and present, and to the cultures, knowledge and stories they carry. That knowledge comes from tens of thousands of years of living with, caring for and protecting Country. It is why, for us, climate action cannot be separated from Country or from First Nations leadership, and why we are committed to listening, learning and backing First Nations-led climate action.
