RICHMOND is set to send a four-person contingent to New York to present as the first sporting club at the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues.

The Tigers will share the journey of the Punt Road-based Korin Gamadji Institute (KGI) at the forum, which they will attend in partnership with the National Congress of Australia's First Peoples.

They'll also present on the establishment of the Dreamtime at the 'G game, which has been celebrated in an annual fixture between Richmond and Essendon for 13 years.

"This is a wonderful opportunity to share our work on the world stage," Richmond general manager of communications and marketing Simon Matthews said.

"We are incredibly proud of what the club, and particularly the staff of the Korin Gamadji Institute, deliver every day to strengthen Aboriginal and Torres Strait communities.

"It's important that we also acknowledge the formal and informal partners across community, corporate and government who help shape, support and guide the work we do as a collective."

The KGI has delivered "highly-unique and innovative leadership and well-being programming for young Indigenous boys and girls" over the past 10 years.

It sets out to deliver programs to help educate and engage, encourage the next generation of leaders, and connect participants to their culture and community.

It also provides opportunities that will empower them to help close the unacceptable economic and health gaps that exist between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians

"What we do is unique, innovative and is creating genuine outcomes and we look forward to sharing our journey when we get to New York," Matthews said.

"Equally, it will provide an invaluable opportunity for us to learn from other organisations and that can only improve what we already deliver."

Richmond is already the first sporting club signatory to a National Congress of Australia's First Peoples Accord, which was confirmed last December.

And, the Tigers are the only sporting club in Australia to have its Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) recognised as being in 'elevate' status for its demonstrated leadership.

Before the speech will they be thanking the traditional “owners” of the land and pay their respects to the traditional elders past and present?

Probably not.  The indigenous owners sold manhattan to the settlers IIRC from American History.

The Tigers on Tuesday farewelled the Melbourne Indigenous Transition School’s (MITS) Class of 2019.

Since 2016, a class of Indigenous boys and girls from communities around Australia have come to live in Richmond and attend school each day inside Tigerland.

Richmond’s players presented each of the graduating students with a Tigers jersey while also sharing a barbecue with them.

It has been 10 years since the establishment of the Korin Gamadji Institute (KGI) and to mark the occasion, the KGI has launched a new Indigenous-designed logo.



The vibrant new logo design is built around the Aboriginal symbol for ‘person,’ which is central to KGI programming that is designed to build connection and empower young people.

The symbol also illustrates inclusion and represents all genders and cultures that have been a part of the KGI story over the past 10 years.

Two dotted lines around the design perimeter represent Korin (Grow) and Gamadji (Emerge). These comprise the KGI’s Woiwurrung name, which was gifted to Richmond Football Club by Wurundjeri peoples in 2011.

The new logo will appear in a range of colours to represent Land and Sea Country, paying respect to all of the cultural groups involved in the program.
