A member testimony
Q: How do you feel supported by your membership with DNAC?
“I am able to honour my ancestors and keep their culture and traditions alive. I love the community aspect, its exactly like a big extended family. Dharug community events are very welcoming and they help us to come together, to connect and be able to learn more about our culture from each other. It is so nice to feel like you belong to a community and gatherings are also great for yarning about how we are feeling. During cultural gatherings we are learning language, cultural skills and cultural protocols so we can preserve these for future generations. For example, I have been about to share my thoughts about my Dad’s experiences of culture and how Dad felt when he received his notification to say he was accepted by the community. It was hard to find words to express how proud and happy this made us feel as a family….I actually cried.”
Membership to the organisation is free to Dharug People
