2019 Indigenous and Pacific Players Cultural Leadership Camp
Earlier this week, Parramatta Eels players Tepai Moeroa, Kaysa Pritchard, Ethan Parry and Salesi Fainga'a, along with Eels chaplain George Dansey attended he NRL’s Cultural Leadership Camps at Sydney's North Head Quarantine Station. The players listened to keynote speakers, such as NRL senior manager of international strategy and awards Frank Puletua and Aboriginal activist Paul Coe, while discussing issues which affected their communities, such as rising oceans in the Pacific. They also took part in cultural workshops, which included learning traditional skills such as fire starting and spear throwing.
Parramatta Eels respect and honour the Traditional Custodians of the land and pay our respects to their Elders past, present and future. We acknowledge the stories, traditions and living cultures of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples on the lands we meet, gather and play on.
