Cape York Bama Languages Aboriginal Corporation
The Cape York Bama Languages Aboriginal Corporation covers an area of one hundred and fifty thousand kilometres. This extends from the tribal area of the Kuku Yalanji north of Cairns, from the east coast across through the land of the Kunjen and on to the country of the Kokoberra in the south west of Cape York. The area extends north from this to the tip of Cape York Peninsula.
The work of the Languages Corporation is aimed at empowering Indigenous people to hold onto their languages and culture. Its members work to preserve the cultural sensitivity of the region, and aim to build on this to achieve the best possible outcomes for their people.
