Alison Hunt

Alison Hunt has been my adopted family in Central Australia since 2016.

Her family was the very first family I met when I arrived into Central Australia.

The first week of being out in Central Australia I ended up on the lands with Aunty for a big IPA (Indigenous Protected Areas gathering for South, Western and Northern Territory) here I met her tribal elders and had a direct welcome to country with the women.

Shortly after this meeting Aunty and I discovered that I shared exactly the same name of her mother, first and last name. Arnangu way there is no such thing as coincidence everything happens for a reason. An undeniable family connection always kept me returning to the relationship as challenging as it was as she saw it as her responsibility for me to become a strong woman. 

Alison is a pivotal guide, teacher and mentor for me into understanding culture and doing things in right relationship. The love and appreciation for one another runs very deep which did not come easily.

Alison has been a speaker, mediator, facilitator, and also a powerful traditional healer. She has walked the path of indigenous women’s law and culture and has carried cross cultural camps at the women’s ceremony site at Uluru for many years with the full support of her tribal elders across both the APY Lands (Anangu Pitjantjatjara-Yankunytjatjara lands) and throughout Central Australia. Her work over the years has carried a lot of cultural responsibility in being a voice and representative for her elder’s within government.

She uses these skills as mediator and facilitator in her cross cultural event’s as well touching peoples hearts and introducing them to law and culture. It is an honour to continue to walk beside her and to have the imprint of the divine mothers love in my life. As she says, this land sings to the people it wants to work with.
