Who We Are

Our Story

Junkuri Laka Wellesley Islands Aboriginal Law Justice & Governance Association Inc is an Indigenous-led organization committed to advancing Aboriginal law, justice systems, and governance in the Wellesley Islands. We work to ensure that Aboriginal communities can exercise self-determination and govern their own affairs according to customary law and contemporary governance principles.

As an ACNC-registered charity, we are dedicated to strengthening Aboriginal legal traditions, supporting culturally appropriate justice processes, and enabling Indigenous communities to maintain their sovereignty and self-governance. We believe that Aboriginal law and traditional governance systems are vital to community wellbeing and cultural continuity.

Cultural Integrity

We honor and advance Aboriginal law, customs, and traditions as essential elements of cultural identity and community continuity.
