Jabalbina Yalanji Aboriginal Corporation RNTBC, Land Trust and Cultural Heritage Body holds native title, land, and cultural heritage rights and interests in trust on behalf of Eastern Kuku Yalanji Traditional Bama (people). EKY Bama are the Traditional Owners of the bubu (land) and jalun (sea) stretching along the east coast of Tropical North Queensland from the Mowbray Valley surrounding Port Douglas and the Annan River south of Cooktown.
Jabalbina was registered in October 2007 under the CATSI Act 2006 as an outcome of the Eastern Kuku Yalanji Native Title Determination (QC94/13) which was handed down on the 9 December 2007.
Collaborating closely with Kuku Yalanji Traditional Owners, Jabalbina is dedicated to preserving Yalanji Bama culture through diverse programs and projects both on and off country. As a central responsibility, Jabalbina ensures the care of Yalanji land, fostering economic and community potential, while safeguarding cultural integrity and optimizing benefits for Kuku Yalanji Traditional Owners.
Bama and Jabalbina will work with partners to promote pride, prosperity and respect for Eastern Kuku Yalanji Culture, Country and People.
As we look forward to being guided by our strategic plan, we do so with confidence that our foundations of governance and financial management are strong, and we have a bright future. The Jabalbina of 2023 is built upon thousands of years of applied Ngujakuramanku (Lore) and contemporary cultural decision-making processes. It is upon this foundation that we are well placed to accomplish more positive outcomes on behalf of our Bama.
I want to thank all of you who have contributed your time, expertise, and resources to the betterment of our Bama and Bubu, by supporting our organisation. Whether it was through volunteering, offering guidance, or participating in our initiatives, activities, projects, and attending meetings. Your efforts have not gone unnoticed.
Our journey is far from over. As we look to the future, I am excited about the possibilities. With your continued support and collaboration, I am confident that we will accomplish great things for Bama and Bubu.
