contacting Indigenous Elders

Post by Sam84 » Thu Oct 06, 2016 9:04 pm

Hello I am new to group. I am looking to contact Aboriginal & Torres strait islander community services/ Elders for consultation. AI have a question " identify and evaluate a collection of cultural learning experiences, culturally inclusive practices or cultural celebrations from your early learning service. You will be required to reflect on what you consider an authentic experience/practice. (Minimum of 3 learning experiences/practices, with at least two experiences incorporating Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Island culture. One learning experience to include a culture unique to your community)
What consultation occurred prior and during the learning experiences/cultural practice/celebration? Evidence must be provided of where you have involved persons approved by relevant local community elders (for example community cooperative groups)?

can any one help where I can contact the aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander services who can respond me because i have tried contacting many no is giving response. just the consultation part is making very difficult.



I really appreciate your responses.

I live In Parramatta NSW I have tried contacting advisory services and community services but they didnt respond on email. I just have to validate that Acknowledging country is an authentic activity by elders
