Our Vision

We, the people of the Tiwi Islands, will:

• Develop modern communities rooted in traditional culture
  
• Continue our tradition of cultural distinctiveness and separateness living on our own land
  
• Maintain and strengthen our unity as a people; and
  
• Preserve and strengthen Tiwi values, cultures, traditions and spirituality

Pursuant to this vision, we seek to maintain observance and respect for those values and to join the responsibilities and structures of traditional authority with modern local government to achieve a high quality of life and a wide range of opportunities and choices.

We are a regional governing body responsible and accountable for:

• Preserving and protecting Tiwi customs
  
• Restoring Tiwi pride and authority over our lives
  
• Making our own decisions
  
• Taking control of our futures
  
• strengthening community responsibility; and
  
• Improving outcomes
