Yothu Yindi Foundation

The mission of the YYF is for Yolngu and other Indigenous Australians to have the same level of wellbeing and life opportunities as non-Indigenous Australians.

The Yothu Yindi Foundation was established in 1990 to promote Yolngu cultural development with community leaders and persons of authority from thirteen regional clan groups:

The Yothu Yindi Foundation has identified three primary objectives to drive its vision:

Provide contemporary environments and programs to practice, preserve, maintain and present traditional knowledge systems and cultural practices (such as traditional dance (bunggul), song (manikay), and art (miny’tji);
Develop economic opportunities for Yolngu through education, training, employment, enterprise and personal and community development: and
Facilitate the sharing of knowledge and culture, thereby fostering a greater understanding between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians.
