United Tribal Countries Land Alliance Formally Established

·UTCLA Secretariat

The United Tribal Countries Land Alliance (UTCLA) has been formally established as a voluntary alliance of self-governing Tribal Nations across Terra Australis.

Founding Nations

The Alliance brings together three founding Member Countries/Nations:

  • Pintupi Wati Tjuta Tjungarinyi — Central Western Desert
  • Ni'ripono Gwata Tu Sovereign Government — Cape York Region
  • Majagi — Larrakia, Tiwi Island and Brinkin peoples

A New Chapter

The formation of the UTCLA represents a significant step toward strengthened cooperation between self-governing Indigenous Nations. Built upon the foundation of Tjukurpa (Law/Lore), the Alliance coordinates collective matters while respecting the full sovereignty of each Member Nation.

The Alliance governance model ensures equal male and female representation from each Member Country/Nation, with all collective decisions reached through consensus-based deliberation.
