๐โจMa-Thuwi Aboriginal Corporation ๐
๐ We are turning 1 ๐
Ma-Thuwi is a Ngarrindjeri word meaning โbossโ, โin control ofโ, or โtake charge.โ It continues to guide our purpose today, reminding us that at the heart of everything we do is self-determinationโcreating opportunities for Aboriginal people to lead, make decisions and shape their own futures.
To celebrate our first deadly year in operation, we have created a new look!
We are proud to introduce our new logo and the next chapter of Ma-Thuwi Aboriginal Corporation.
Our new logo reflects that journey. The flowing pathway symbolises opportunity and progress, while the native elements represent our enduring connection to culture and Country. Together, they reflect our commitment to creating positive outcomes for people, community and country.
Many of you supported Ma-Thuwi as we embarked on our first partnership program supporting an Aboriginal womenโs arts collective and retail shop. Following the difficult decision to close shopfront during the River Murray algal bloom, something wonderful happened. Our artists continued to grow, building successful businesses and selling their work online, at local, regional and state markets, festivals and corporate events.
๐ Seeing our members become confident, independent entrepreneurs inspired us to reimagine the future of Ma-Thuwi.
Ma-Thuwi is an Aboriginal-led, community-controlled social enterprise. The arts remain an important part of who we are but our passion and expertise extends to our deep connection to country, and our responsibility to nurture it and make it/keep it well.
โ
2026 has bought us new partnership opportunities that strengthen culture, community and country but we are always open to creating new and meaningful connections.
