Policy joins dots on Indigenous culture

AUS

A new Indigenous culture repatriation policy has been launched by the
Minister for the Arts, Simon Crean.

Mr Crean said the policy included a streamlined funding process and
recognised the value and importance of preserving, revitalising and
strengthening Indigenous culture.

He said a $28.3 million competitive funding round had opened for the
preservation and strengthening of Indigenous culture, languages and
visual arts.

“This funding round sees the creation of a single set of streamlined
funding guidelines for Indigenous culture, languages and visual arts
projects,” Mr Crean said.

“It will make it easier for artists and organisations to access these
funds which currently support nearly three hundred Indigenous projects
throughout Australia.”
