Ingkenteme | Bush Schools
Ingkenteme, means following the footsteps back. Our elders want to be teaching their grandchildren on their country, the way they learnt.
Akeyulerre family groups are supported by the Ingkenteme program to lead camps on their homelands, creating time for young people to be on country with their elders and family members. On the camps they learn stories of the land, language, and kinship structures; this builds a strong identity as an Arrernte person.
When back in town, families will share the stories and learning from their country trips with photos, films and by getting together for ‘family nights’.
