Aboriginal Weaving and Cultural Education
Who are we
Welcome to our family business, proudly from the La Perouse Aboriginal Community in Sydney. Our family has deep, traditional connections to Botany Bay and the coastal areas of Sydney, where we have lived, worked, and cared for this country for generations. We have further cultural connections across NSW and Victoria. We as Dharawal people, living and working on Dharawal Country, which extends from the south head of Sydney Harbour to the Illawarra, are dedicated to sharing the traditional knowledge that has been passed down through our family.
What we offer is the wisdom and practices that have been entrusted to us by our elders. We understand and respect that others may have different knowledge, but this is what we know and hold dear. Our teachings are a reflection of our family's heritage, and we are honoured to share this with you.
