Celebrating 11 years of Coota Girls Aboriginal Corporation! In late November 2013, a group of our Coota Girls Survivors met to begin discussions around how best to meet the support needs of former residents of the Cootamundra Domestic Training Home for Aboriginal Girls (1912-1969). Together, they formed Coota Girls Aboriginal Corporation. The objective of the Corporation was drawn from the All One Statement, made collectively by Coota Girls Survivors in 2010: “To ensure the social, emotional and spiritual wellbeing of the Coota Girls and their families and subsequent generations”. On this day 11 years ago, 17th December 2013, Coota Girls Aboriginal Corporation was registered with the Official Register of Indigenous Corporations (ORIC). We are so proud to be standing strong and continuing to grow as a self-determined Survivor-led Stolen Generations Organisation. Today we reflect on the amazing truth-telling and healing that has taken place over the past 11 years as a result of the hard work, strength and resilience of the Survivors who founded the Corporation and our community of supporters. There is still so much work to be done, and we look to seeing many more years of collective healing, re-connection and truth-telling.  To support our ongoing work, visit www.cootagirls.org.au/support-us/ ...

We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the lands, seas and waters which are embedded with our spirit, culture and knowledge. We recognise the powerful connection we have to our spirits, ancestors and to our community.

We pay our deepest respects to our Elders who sung the Songlines before us and those that will sing into the future.

We pay respects to our Stolen Generations Survivors, their families and whole communities, including those who never made it home, and those who are still searching.
