The Centre for Aboriginal Independence and Enterprise
The Centre for Aboriginal Independence and Enterprise was formed to foster cultural, social and community expression and assists to realise enhanced self-esteem and economic independence for Aboriginal people. The Centre strives to enhance existing alliances between the Aboriginal community and the non-Aboriginal community in a show of collective unity, trust and openness about where we find ourselves and how we may address key issues for the future which will benefit all of us.
The Centre endeavours to generate new directions for the Aboriginal community to move beyond reliance on government agencies and other bureaucracies.
The Jimmy Little Foundation
The Jimmy Little Foundation was established to help provide a healthier future for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities across regional and remote Australia. Dr James O Little AO is a legend of the Australian music scene and has been performing for over fifty years. After two years on dialysis and a successful kidney transplant, he realised the importance of all Australians being able to access quality health care no matter where they live and wanted to make a concrete contribution to those communities most affected by kidney disease. The Foundation's Thumbs up! program provides nutrition education using music as the medium to get positive healthy food messages to children in schools.
National Indigenous Times
The National Indigenous Times first hit the streets on February 27, 2002. It was born of a dream by Owen Carriage, the original founder of the Koori Mail, and a group of other Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians.
The paper is staffed and owned by black and white Australians. It does not, and has never, received Government grants or funding to survive.
When we first launched the paper, we made two promises to our readers: That we would do our best to help build a bridge between black and white Australia. That we wouldn't shy away from reporting the tough issues. The first promise, surprisingly, has been the easiest part.
In Australia, there exists a genuine belief among most that the ongoing prosperity of this nation lies in our ability to face up to our past. So 'helping to build a bridge' between both parties hasn't been all that tough. In fact it's been very rewarding, although we acknowledge it's an ongoing project that will undoubtedly outlive all of the staff and owners of NIT www.nit.com.au
