Aboriginal Enterprise

Aboriginal organisations provide a range of services to urban and rural communities from Tennant Creek, generating economic activity for the town.

• Nyinkka Nyunyu Arts and Cultural Centre opened in July 2003 and offers visitors and the community an opportunity to learn about aboriginal life, history and the land in the region. The centre promotes Arts and Cultural activities for the whole Barkly Region. 
   

• Julalikari Arts and Crafts was established in 1994 in response to Aboriginal women's requirements to do more meaningful work. There are currently 27 women working at the Arts Centre. Some of them have been painting for many years and others have just started.
