Ngan Aak-Kunch

Ngan Aak-Kunch Ngan Aak-Kunch Aboriginal Corporation (NAK) represents and manages the Native Title Holders: The Wik, Wik Waya, and Kugu people of West Cape York.

Ngan Aak-Kunch Aboriginal Corporation (NAK) has been established to manage the Native Title of us, the Wik and Wik Waya peoples, over our land and waters in western Cape York Peninsula. Through this body of elected representatives (Directors), we, the families, clans and other groups who form the Wik and Wik Waya peoples, have joined to protect our Native Title and ensure the recognition by others

of our deep and continuing connections to and rights in our ancestral land and waters, culture and heritage, and our existence as the original possessors and occupiers of these land and waters. At the same time we, the Wik and Wik Waya peoples, affirm our own diversity and specific connections under our traditional laws and customs to the land and waters over which our native title has been and will in the future be recognised. Thus, while “ngan aak-kunch” means “we owners of the country” in Wik Mungkan, the traditional language now widely spoken by many Wik people, we have many languages and dialects, each with its own way of stating ownership of our land and waters under law and custom.

A major milestone this week as we held the first NAK & ATEWS Director and stakeholder meeting. Three productive days in Sydney have set solid foundations for the rollout of REAS in Aurukun.
A powerful start built on collaboration, shared purpose, and a commitment to delivering real outcomes for community and long‑term sustainability.
ATEWS is the joint‑venture organisation between NAK and ASURIA, and this week showed exactly what strong partnership looks like.
