The National Cultural Flows Research Project (NCFRP) was a game-changing research project, driven by First Nations people, for First Nations people. The project aimed to secure a future where First Nations’ water allocations (Cultural Flows) are embedded in Australia’s water planning and management regimes, to deliver spiritual, cultural, environmental, social and economic benefits to First Nations people, in the Murray-Darling Basin and beyond.
“The river is part of who we are. It is about respecting that traditional knowledge, bringing it into the twenty-first century and putting it into two words: Cultural Flows.” – Cheryl Buchanan, Guwamu (Kooma)
