Support Indigenous innovation

Living Knowledge Network is guided by a clear purpose – to heal Country, revive landscapes and build skills across communities. With the support of our generous partners and allies, we’re turning this purpose into action – strengthening cultural practice, supporting mob-led leadership and creating long term resilience over the next decade. 

We bring together communities, partners, knowledge systems and organisations to create long-lasting outcomes none of us could achieve alone. There’s a place for everyone in this network.

Investing in the future

“We’re calling on state and commonwealth agencies, universities, all communities, private landholders and their representative farming bodies, everyone across the sector to work together. We want to see more employment for all the Aboriginal people managing landscapes. We want to see traditional knowledge taught in schools. We want to see Aboriginal people monitoring, collecting data and doing their own research to deliver Cultural Fire to the world, proudly from Indigenous knowledge and proudly from the communities of Australia.”

Land Acquisition

Throughout Australia, Indigenous peoples are largely unable to access lands where they hold important cultural connections and obligations. This also means the Country does not receive the management and care needed to be healthy and resilient. We need your support to enable Cultural Fire Practitioners who can nurture the identity of landscapes and fulfil cultural care.

Living Knowledge Network’s land acquisition initiative is an important step towards healing and restoring Country through Indigenous-led approaches and land management practices, including Cultural Fire and harvesting. It is also an important step towards supporting self-determined futures for Indigenous people and reshaping regional partnerships and solutions for all future generations.
