    SUPPLY NATION CERTIFICATION

    • Certification is the qualification process administered by Supply Nation, which Indigenous businesses undertake to verify that their business meets Supply Nation’s definition of an Indigenous business.

    • Supply Nation defines an Indigenous business as a business:

    • a) that consists of at least 51 per cent ownership by Indigenous Australians;

    • b) in which the principal executive officer is an Indigenous Australian; and

    • c) the key decisions in the business are made by Indigenous Australians.

    • Use of the Certified Logo verifies the business ownership, management and control arrangements. It does not warrant the quality or viability of the business or Indigenous provenance of the goods and/or services offered by the Indigenous business.

    Blak Markets kicking off at Bare Island 

    Our Blak Markets will kick off the year back on Bare Island on Sunday 9 February  with Aboriginal stallholders selling their arts and crafts with everything from native plants to award winning jewellery to silk scarves featuring Aboriginal design.

     

    As always there's a wonderful Festival line up of both contemporary and cultural performances  - this market featuring cultural dance performances by Djiriba Waagur and free interactive session for the kids with Larry Brandy Storytellers.

     

    The Blak Markets are a great chance to buy authentic unique gifts knowing that 100% of the profits go back into Aboriginal communities and this market we also have some great new bushfood drink products to sell such as Boab Nut Iced Tea and non-alcoholic draft beers infused with native plant flavours from Aboriginal businesses in the bushfood industry.

     

    The Blak Markets takes place at Bare Island within the Kamay-Botany Bay National Park with the support of the NSW Parks and Wildlife Service and Randwick City Council.

    Want to Stop Australia's Fires? Listen to Aboriginal People

    [Alexis Wright, The New York Times]

    Aboriginal people in this country firmly believe that we are the longest-surviving culture in the world. We were raised with the knowledge that our ancestors have adapted to changing climatic conditions here for millenniums.

    You learn name, you learn country and respect its history

    When you think about the names of towns and landmarks in the area where you live, how many of them have Aboriginal names? And what do you know about the meaning of those names?
