Our Elders
NWQICSS recognises that our community Elders are the holders of Traditional Knowledge and are essential to the fabric of Aboriginal society and are the teachers of the next generation.
We strive to support and facilitate programs that connect our Elders to the community ensuring that the connection of culture and knowledge is preserved and passed on, preserving the old ways for future generations.
