The logo of Kimberley Jiyigas is the YELLOW-TAILED BLACK COCKATOO.
Kimberley Indigenous women are unique, beautiful, strong, capable and resilient. Kimberley Jiyigas don’t stand still, they are a MOVEMENT that will not be stopped, soaring to new heights, taking on new challenges and tackling social problems. They are women who can go the distance and who are determined to be influencers of social change: regionally, nationally and internationally.
The logo has been inspired by the painting of a Yellow-Tailed Black Cockatoo by Kimberley artist, Susan Nampitjin Peters. This bird is found in the Kimberley area and the yellow-tail represents the female.

Kimberley Indigenous women
The Kimberley is home to hundreds of species of birds who possess various unique features and characteristics, capable of migratory feats that are awe-inspiring. Their presence and activities help to indicate the health of the ecosystem, and they are an important part of the environment.
Similarly, Kimberley Indigenous women have been, and continue to be, an integral part of indigenous societies. Their ability and capacity to positively impact on their community has not been properly credited and many women, and their accomplishments, have largely gone unnoticed.
Still, there is huge opportunity for greater accomplishment and advancing change by empowering women and listening to the collective voices of women who have worked tirelessly on behalf of their communities, and gained the wisdom and experience of a lifetime. Women can be mobilised to achieve great things!
