Today, businesses, Local Governments, conferences and forums, official openings and ceremonies, and other events have the opportunity to book an Alngith Welcomes to Country to be performed by an Alngith boss, guardian or cultural authority.   Alngith bosses, guardians and cultural authorities speak for the land within our territory, as they have had Alngith culture, history and ancestral and spiritual knowledge transmitted to them, and we have a responsibility to care for our land, care for all people on our land and pick up where our ancestors left off in welcoming and partnering with outsiders to our Country to advance the priorities of our land.

We require at least 7 days notice prior to your event to ensure that we have an Alngith boss, guardian or cultural authority available. Please allow 2-3 working days to receive your official quote/confirmation.
