Last week, the Sovereign Yidindji Government welcomed Elder, Wumindhaa Wullunjarrdii, to its offices on Yidindji country, to talk about his struggles to lay claims to his own traditional Kukatj country in the Gulf.
Wumindhaa Wullunjarrdii was welcomed to Yidindji by local Elder and Minister for Police and Cultural Affairs in the Sovereign Yidindji Government, Bumi Gimuybara, and Yidindji Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade, Murrumu of Walubara, who were on hand to introduce him to local Yidindji police.
From their website, “The Sovereign Yidindji Government was created by Jangalan Yidindji, which is the tribal council of elders. The Government is the official voice of the nation and administrative legal personality to speak for and on behalf of the Yidindji nation. The SYG aims to codify and describe the laws, customs and traditions of the society and create titles, offices and other required instruments to help Yidindji interact with the world. The SYG and tribal law although connected are two different universes.”
