Our vision for reconciliation
91视频 is committed to ensuring it is a culturally responsive and inclusive space for students, staff and the community. We promote understanding of First Nations history, connection to Country and the ongoing impact of colonisation. We prioritise reconciliation, empowering our staff and students to actively contribute to improving our shared knowledge, building our capacity to uphold the rights of First Nations People within their workplaces and the wider community.
The 91视频 Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) 2025-2026 received Official Endorsement from Reconciliation Australia in November 2024.
The 91视频 RAP Working Group worked diligently on developing 91视频鈥檚 Innovate RAP, with the support of Burbangana Group, a 100 per cent First Nations owned consultancy business.
With the 91视频 2025-2026 Innovate RAP now officially endorsed by Reconciliation Australia and the 91视频 Board, work is now underway to develop an implementation and monitoring plan to ensure we deliver on our commitments made in the RAP.

'Brighter Futures' by LaToya Kennedy, Ngunnawal and Wiradjuri Artist
This artwork has been created with a vision of telling a story about the Canberra Institute of Technology (91视频) and the vital role it plays in providing culturally safe and inclusive technical and vocational education and training in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) - being the hub for building skills and knowledge on Ngunnawal Country.
This artwork depicts the strong connections and learning pathways that 91视频 provides around the ACT and region; and represents community, sharing knowledge and skills, and providing opportunities between 91视频, First Nations Peoples, and non-Indigenous Australians. It also represents equality, respect, trust, and growth between our educators and students learning on Country.
The three large meeting places represent Woden, Fyshwick, and Bruce campuses, with the educators represented with the colours red, green, and orange. The two smaller meeting places represent Gungahlin and Tuggeranong campuses, with the educators represented with the colours yellow and purple. The small meeting place linked to the Bruce campus is 91视频 Yurauna, a dedicated Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Educational Centre of Excellence and hub for culture, community, and connection. The smallest meeting place in the centre represents students and their connection pathways to the diverse programs, qualifications, and certificates offered across 91视频.
鈥楳aliyan鈥� the wedgetail eagle represents the totem of the local Ngunnawal People. Totem animals hold immense significance in First Nations culture as they represent Aboriginal identity, spirituality, kinship, and connection to the land; and serve as guardians, protectors, and guides, offering wisdom, strength, and guidance throughout life.
The handprint and animal tracks represent people, culture, and Country; and the footprints represent us on our journey - keeping song, dance, art, knowledge, and culture alive with a spiritual connection to our ancestors and The Dreaming.
This artwork demonstrates connections and unique relationships that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples have with the Country and land, and respect for our traditions and culture.
Artist biography
Yuma
My name is LaToya and I鈥檓 a proud Ngunnawal and Wiradjuri woman - my grandmother is Ngunnawal from Yass, and my grandfather is Wiradjuri from Cowra, both small country towns in Central West New South Wales (NSW). I was born in Cowra, grew up in Canberra and I now reside on beautiful Dharawal Country in Wollongong NSW; my connections extend across Wiradjuri, Ngunnawal and Dharawal Country.
My art represents the strong, continuing connections and unique relationships that I have with my Country, land and community, and the respect that I have for my culture and traditions. I get my inspiration from my surroundings, recreating elements of Country and telling stories through symbolic representation. I also draw inspirations from my ancestors who have walked this land before us, and who have managed and maintained this land for tens of thousands of years.
