The Dungala Kaiela Oration
The Dungala Kaiela Oration is hosted jointly by the Kaiela Institute and the University of Melbourne. The oration celebrates Aboriginal cultural identity with the goal of creating a shared vision for the people of the greater Goulburn Valley region and promoting Aboriginal development.
The Dungala Kaiela Oration is held in the middle of the year in Shepparton.
