Yindjibarndi Nation

There’s a powerful difference between talking about Country from a boardroom and standing on it. Being together on Country creates space for a different kind of conversation, built on shared understanding, respect and partnership. 🤝 Earlier this month, we welcomed investors from 13 superannuation funds, asset management firms and an investment bank to Yindjibarndi Country, in a visit coordinated through Jarden. Together, we shared our culture, our aspirations and our vision for Yindjibarndi-led economic development. The opportunity is to build stronger, more direct relationships with capital markets, helping investors better understand what matters to us and creating a shared foundation for future partnership and Yindjibarndi-led opportunity.

A proud day! As part Yindjibarndi People's drive to protect water on our Ngurra (Country), and our goal to build shared understanding and shared responsibility, Yindjibarndi Water yesterday announced an agreement with Rio Tinto and the Government of Western Australia to lead the acquisition of Dampier Seawater Desalination Plant. This agreement, achieved through our partnership with Affinity Capital Group, will strengthen water security in the West Pilbara; sustainably diversify water supplies for the Water Corporation and Rio Tinto; and deliver much-needed environmental relief while preserving Yindjibarndi cultural heritage at Millstream.

🦅 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗯𝗼𝘀𝘀 Travelling through Yindjibarndi ngurra recently, YAC General Manager, Culture & Heritage Philip Davies took these extraordinairy shots of a Little Eagle carrying a freshly killed cat. "After I photographed it, the Little Eagle dropped the cat at the base of a garrawa wanda (corkwood tree),” Phil said. “I placed the cat in the tree, hoping that the Little Eagle would come back. "Yesterday evening, I checked: the cat was not there and there was no trace of any remnants of it in the tree or on the ground.” Feral cats are a highly destructive, invasive species in the Pilbara, where they pose a severe threat to native wildlife. When Juluwarlu Culture and Art CEO Lorraine Coppin saw the photos, she saw it as Country looking after Country, commenting: “Nature is boss.”
