OUR STORY

In 1998, a group of Redfern residents came together with the vision of revitalising Aboriginal culture through economic and social stability. Our founders began with maritime training as a way of offering local men the dual opportunity of engaging in culture and finding employment.

Tribal Warrior has been a central part of the Redfern community for over two decades. Throughout this time of rebuild and change, our vision has been unwavering – we want to empower our community through connection to culture and family. All our activities are designed to contribute to a Redfern that is strong in its history, proud of its achievements, and economically self-sustaining into the future.

Where it all began

In 1998, a group of Redfern residents came together with the vision of revitalising Aboriginal culture through economic and social stability. Our founders began with maritime training as a way of offering local men the dual opportunity of engaging in culture and finding employment.

From the original vision, Tribal Warrior has expanded into the social enterprise it is today. The core of Tribal Warrior’s work revolves around:

  • Mentoring younger members of the community and their families.
  • Sharing and practicing culture.
  • Providing employment pathway opportunities.
  • Facilitating greater economic participation.
  • The outcome of this work is the creation of diverse employment and income generation streams. This diversity places the Redfern community in an ideal position to adapt to and meet evolving challenges as well as grasp opportunities as they arise.
