The objective of the Indigenous Interpretation Strategy for Gunyama is to act as a high-level visioning tool that can be used to support the integration of the landscape, public art and signage in order to create a unique place that recognises and celebrates Aboriginal stories and heritage in the built environment. It is also designed to act as an underlay — guided by the Country that Gunyama is located within — from which culturally appropriate themes, narratives and resultant interpretations can be derived. This Strategy therefore identifies how Indigenous values can be interpreted, celebrated and honoured in meaningful, practical and culturally appropriate ways.
Djinjama honours our connections to Country, community, culture and kin through our work. Djinjama’s projects actively interact with lands, waters and air, and as such we actively protect the rights of Country to be healthy in our work. We respect Traditional Custodians who have long cared for Country and aim to elevate First Voices in all our work. We are grateful to Elders and Knowledge Holders for their continued sharing of wisdom, story, language, and knowledge.
