Return of Country lays base for Indigenous prosperity
Economic empowerment is being felt across more First Nations communities through a strategic focus on return to Country.
The Indigenous Land and Sea Council said on Thursday it would hone its focus over the next five years on returning and managing Country and providing First Nations businesses development opportunities through new acquisitions.
ILSC group chief executive officer, Joe Morrison, said 2023 was a significant year for the organisation, with the release of its five-year National Indigenous Land and Sea Strategy geared towards returning and managing Country.
"Everything the ILSC does is about Country and the continent's first peoples," he said.
Mr Morrison said ILSC's wanted to open more financial pathways and sustainable futures for Indigenous communities across Australia, and he was excited for their future.
