Description
A 100% indigenous-owned company.
Northern Territory Indigenous Tours is a wholly indigenous-owned, locally-based business offering specialised interpretation of the natural and cultural environment from an Aboriginal viewpoint.
Owner and Aboriginal guide, Tess Atie, says:
‘I grew up where Litchfield National Park is now, travelling and camping with my family. I developed a great respect for my old people. They showed me all the fine details about the plants and animals on our country, and how to live properly there. Now I want to teach visitors about our beautiful country.’
'I love meeting people from other parts of the world. I really enjoy showing and teaching them about my family's beautiful country, and about Aboriginal life in the old days and today'.
