Aboriginal community groups and organisations across New South Wales are set to receive support to conduct activities which strengthen, protect and maintain traditional and contemporary Indigenous culture.

The cultural grants, an initiative of the NSW Government, provide $1.4 million in funding to more than 70 recipients.

They include La Perouse's Gujaga Foundation, which will host a series of cultural workshops on Dharawal Country focusing on native plants, language, art, weaving, cooking and history for young people.

Gujaga Foundation chief operations officer Jessie Longbottom said the grant enables Gujaga to deliver dedicated cultural experiences for children in the La Perouse Aboriginal community led by Dharawal knowledge holders.

"It also supported the delivery of a cultural family day, increasing the opportunities for our community to connect with language, culture, and each other," Ms Longbottom said.

"These experiences are vital to strengthening identity and passing knowledge between generations."

The grant scheme will also support a Welcome Baby to Country event hosted by the Gundyarri Narrandera Aboriginal Corporation (GNAC) in the central Riverina town of Narrandera.

GNAC directors Cherry Johnson and Vivian Prior Christian said the grant will assist the community to welcome newborns back to their traditional river and land after being born in hospital.

"The ceremony will connect our babies spiritually, emotionally and physically which in turn will re-introduce cultural practices i.e. to be ongoing for generations," they said.

"Also it will help preserve our identity, sense of belonging (children), having respect for one another and staying grounded to our roots (ancestral knowledge)."

A documentary titled 'First Nation Food Sovereignty' which examines how Aboriginal communities have sustained themselves for generations using traditional food systems and Indigenous knowledge will also be supported.

Indigenous Futures Foundation's Levi-Joel Tamou said receiving the cultural grant is a powerful step forward in celebrating and preserving First Nations culture through storytelling.

It allows us to share our voices, honour community knowledge, and bring our film project into reality," Mr Tamou said.

"We're currently in pre-production and deeply grateful for this support."

Other grant recipients include:

- Kiama's Gumaraa Aboriginal Experience, which will hold 'Echoes of Country' didgeridoo workshops for young men from local schools to learn more about the cultural significance of the didgeridoo.

- Boolangle Local Aboriginal Land Council's Kangaroo Festival in Casino, which will lead the revival of a significant cultural celebration on Bundjalung Country including children's weaving, traditional foods, bush medicine, dance and music activities.

- The short film 'Return of the Yowies', which will see an Aboriginal film-maker develop a short documentary to honour the Pilliga traditional custodians and their families.

- West Wyalong Local Aboriginal Land Council's women's gathering at Wagga Wagga, which will see a cultural and wellbeing school holiday camp held on Darkinjung country for Aboriginal girls aged 9-18.

- Moree Sports Health Arts and Education Academy's weekly youth cultural program, which offers workshops to connect young people to culture through creative arts and culture on Kamilaroi country.

New South Wales Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Treaty, David Harris, said the grant are designed to empower Aboriginal community organisations and groups to run events which celebrate culture and facilitate sharing of knowledge and skills between generations.

"Aboriginal communities continue to keep culture strong through festivals, workshops and programs across NSW," Mr Harris said.

"These initiatives have been designed by Aboriginal communities for Aboriginal people, reflecting the NSW Government's commitment to self-determination."
