Waltja Tjutangku Palyapayi Aboriginal Corporation – Culture and Language Services

The Arts Traditional Way project is about the traditional art practices that have been passed on and maintained within the Indigenous culture. The focus is on elders teaching and passing down their knowledge to the younger generation within their community. Waltja facilitates trips back ‘on country’ for elders so they can be nurtured and healed by the land. Hunting trips and painting workshops bring forth many stories, laughter and a sense of wellbeing. As people age, it becomes difficult to reconnect with culture without assistance. The community people we work with are very generous and provide us with stories in many languages which we then record and publish. They also earn money by creating paintings and artwork for Waltja which are sold online. All proceeds (100%) go back into our Social Programs.
