During February 2021 we shared some of our success stories in the evokeAG. startup community.

This week we return to the last in our series of profiles on the 2020 AgriFutures Rural Women’s Award state winners.

Our next guest is the 2020 WA RWA Finalist, Cara Peek.

Cara is a Yawuru Bunuba woman who is the founder of Saltwater County Ltd and co-founder of the Cultural Intelligence Project.

A native title lawyer by profession, Cara has travelled the world to work closely with other Indigenous nations such as the San Carlos Apache Nation.

Now back home in the Kimberley, this born “advocate” is re-engaging at-risk Indigenous youth and connecting them back to country by using practical, hands-on skills such as bull riding, rodeos, camp drafting and country music.

Here is Cara’s powerful story.
