      Hi all,
      Our group was wondering if there are any specific cultural or lifestyle practices that the Lama Lama people have that would translate into the desired layout of their homes? We want to ensure the homes are culturally appropriate and can’t seem to find anything online to educate us on this.

      Thanks so much.

        Hi Poppy,

        Thank you for your very important question.
        Wilya Janta is a not-for-profit based in NT and has worked on designing housing structures that are appropriate for the Indigenous communities they work with. Take a look at their website and their Right Way Housing Guidelines and see if the cultural considerations also resonate with the Lama Lama community.

        I hope this helps.

        Kind regards,
        Evelyn
