The Institute’s Director is Noel Pearson, an Aboriginal leader and activist from the community of Hopevale.
The Institute was developed in partnership with the people of Cape York and Griffith University, with financial support from the Queensland and Australian Governments. It is focussed on issues in Cape York but aims to have a national influence.
