The National Association for the Visual Arts (NAVA) provided this submission in relation to the Inquiry into Australia's Indigenous visual arts and craft sector, November 2006.
NAVA applauds the Government's decision to investigate the concerns expressed by members of the sector. We strongly support the development and implementation of Australian law and policies to respect, strengthen and protect Indigenous communities' rights to cultural self determination and for Indigenous Peoples to be the custodians of their culture, their right to gain maximum social and financial benefit from their culture, and their right to have their diversity of culture and practice recognised and accommodated.
