Itentye | Social Enterprise
Itentye means branching out, we feel proud of our culture and honour the knowledge and skills that have been passed to us. Our elders and families gather at Akeyulerre as an important place for Arrernte people to come together, we celebrate our land, our people and our culture and we offer ways to share this with the broader community.
We harvest plants and make traditional healing products which has grown into a social enterprise employing young Arrernte women and fostering the continuation of our healing knowledge. We also conduct cultural healing services including kwerte-ileme smoking ceremonies and cultural knowledge sharing workshops. The men are developing business ideas that support cultural engagement and skills development.
We have also been busy building a larger centre that will create more opportunities to share our work and generate income for Arrernte people.
