AUSTRALIA’S PREMIER INDIGENOUS ART FAIR

A MESSAGE FROM THE TRADITIONAL OWNERS On behalf of the Gimuy Walubara Yidinji people, I welcome you to our Country, now known as Cairns.
For generations, Cairns has continued to be a meeting place for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, a gateway to Australia and the Asia-Pacific region.
I trust you will enjoy the cultural and artistic presentations CIAF has on offer.
Welcome to Yidinji Country.
Gudjugudju, Yidinji Elder

CONNECTION TO COUNTRY“When we are on Country, we flourish”
First Peoples’ share a life force with their ancestors who created the land and waters. A bloodline to Country that is essential to health and wellbeing, cultural survival, economic sustainability, community empowerment and control. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people continue to embrace the worldview that their ancestors gave them, a sovereignty that was never ceded.
