Ngalaya: Celebrating 25 Years
On October 16 Ngalaya members, supporters, and attendees of the 2023 National Indigenous Legal Conference attended Doltone House Hyde Park on Gadigal Country, Sydney to celebrate First Nations success and resilience.
Mark Holden, a Dhunghutti man and Ngalaya Director for 12 years opened the night by acknowledging Gadigal Country and introducing Ngalaya's Executive Director, Jason O'Neil.
"It has been so important to hold space together over these past two days at the National Indigenous Legal Conference," Jason said "we won't speak for long tonight other than celebrating the First Nations Law Awards, as tonight is all about spending time together."
