The Ngarluma and Yindjibarndi Elders started NYFL in the 1990s to advance the First Nations community’s ambitions. Ngarluma and Yindjibarndi Country spans the coast from Ieramugadu (Roebourne), Karratha, inland to the tablelands Gambulanha (Hamersley Ranges). Two Nations that are connected by kin, Lore, Ngurra (Country) and economy.   Today, NYFL supports many First Nations people beyond Ngarluma and Yindjibarndi. NYFL has a strong focus on Ieramugadu (Roebourne) where we are headquartered. Our community continues to experience extreme social and economic disadvantage – but we are changing that one step at a time. This is self-determination.
