After four days of intensive discussions, cultural ceremonies and exchange, the 25th Garma Festival in the Northern Territory comes to an end. Since its founding in 1999 by the Yothu Yindi Foundation, Garma has become an important forum for dialogue between First Nations peoples and non-indigenous society. In addition to political topics, the focus was also on music, dance and cultural exchange.
