Jarndu Ngaank Tours are an Aboriginal women's-led cultural immersion experience that will provide you a better understanding of Aboriginal culture from a senior cultural women Elder's experience, that you can take back home and share your stories and insights with others.
Since colonisation, Aboriginal women's voices have been suppressed as a result of historical injustices and male power has been more uplifted. For example, anthropologists and sociologists in times past when researching, only spoke to Aboriginal men and hence male perspectives have become more elevated in the research literature. Aboriginal women were considered to be subservient and thus it was hard for their voices to be heard.
In current times a women's perspective is more valued and a women's role is not just seen as an addendum. The Aboriginal women's nurturing perspective is being brought to the forefront; they are protectors of cultural knowledge, stories and country. Jarndu Ngaank Tours are a means to right the balance, the female narrative of the tours amplifies the Aboriginal women's voice as Carers and Custodians of the land.
