Mimal Land Management Aboriginal Corporation (known as Mimal) works for the Dalabon, Rembarrnga and Mayili landowners and custodians of south-central Arnhem Land, Northern Territory. The landowners and custodians live in towns, communities and homelands on Country, such as Bulman, Weemol and Barrapunta (Emu Springs), Beswick, Barunga, Katherine and Maningrida.
The Dalabon, Rembarrnga and Mayili landowners and custodians hold an unbroken history of connection to Country, with many spending significant amounts of time living and working on Country. Our connection to Country is strong and we believe that when Country is healthy, we are healthy.
