The Barkindji are an Indigenous Australian people primarily located along the banks of the Darling River in southwestern New South Wales. They have a rich cultural heritage, including traditional practices, languages, and connection to the land. The Barkindji people are known for their deep spiritual ties to their environment and their history as custodians of the region. Historically, the Barkindji faced significant challenges due to European colonization, which disrupted their traditional way of life. Today, they continue to advocate for their rights, cultural preservation, and land management, working to maintain their identity and strengthen their community through various initiatives and programs.
