Manly
Warringah Pittwater Aboriginal Support Group
The Aboriginal Support Group - Manly Warringah Pittwater (ASG)
have our own website -
http://www.asgmwp.net. It is regularly updated and includes all of
our recent activities and other resources.
The ASG started in 1979 as a treaty organisation and later
developed into a group of people committed to supporting Indigenous Australians
in their broader struggle for justice. Located on the Northern Beaches of
Sydney, members of the ASG share a passion to see right relationships forged
between Indigenous and settler Australians. Working in our local area, we seek
to change the way non-Aboriginal people understand and relate to Aboriginal
Australians. We never speak on behalf of Aboriginal people and are committed to
'be there' for Aboriginal people with effective, informed support. The ASG meets
regularly to discuss issues, causes and events, to plan actions, to share
friendship and experiences.
Work is shared by trusted volunteers.
Activities Include:
-
Keeping the group and the wider community informed about
Aboriginal issues and upcoming events.
-
Organising monthly Information Nights, including guest
Aboriginal speakers and film/discussion nights.

Producing a quarterly newsletter, Elimatta, which is
