Palawa Kipli – Tasmanian Aboriginal food

What does Palawa Kipli mean? Palawa means Tasmanian Aborigine and kipli means food in Palawa kani, the Tasmanian Aboriginal language.

Palawa kipli is first and foremost a native food business. They are operated by Aboriginal people, on Aboriginal land and are committed to the reconnection of our people to traditional food practices. They hope to contribute to cultural continuation and revival through community engagement with traditional food sources and cultural landscapes.

They offer state-wide catering, kipli takara / bush tucker tours, educational workshops, host cultural events and tv shows.

By supporting and buying products from Palawa kipli, you are helping to ensure the employment of Tasmanian Aboriginal people in our workplace, which enables them to continue their culturally centred food and land management practices.

They hope that by sharing their food with you, people are more aware of how sustainable the future can be. By learning about their history and culture, it will enable you to be a part of the movement to creating a better environment for the future and will continue to strengthen the existence of the Tasmanian Aboriginal community.
