Kathleen Terrick

I am a proud mother of six beautiful children and multi-clan woman belonging to Wurundjeri / Tati Tati Mutthi Mutthi Wadi Wadi / Wemba Wemba / Berapa Berapa / Dja Dja Wurrung/ Ngurai Illum / Waywurru / Gunai and Bidwell.

I am nominating as a candidate for the Metro region because I believe I can be a powerful voice for our people and for our Treaty.

I am committed to fighting for Justice for our Mobs, coming from strong grassroots families who endured the hardships & always stood up for what is right, I feel a responsibility to do the same for the next generation.

I’m currently employed as Tati Tati Treaty Engagement Officer and am a proud Djirri Djirri sharing Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung Culture in Naarm through Language Dance Song and Ceremony.

We are a strong people with compassion, resilience and heart.  We’ve survived a way of life imposed on us that was meant to destroy us, and yet we prevail. This is a true testament to the Elders who have raised us and shaped us and our Ancestors who walked this land before us, leaving a blueprint of how life should be conducted – this is our Lore.
