Ina'ilau a Tama'ita'i: Charlotte Allen.
For the second episode of our 'Ina'ilau a Tama'ita'i' series, we bring you the incredible story of Charlotte Allen, a Samoan woman living and working with the indigenous people of the Mutitjulu community in Uluru, Northern Territory. Ms Charlotte Allen works in the Mutitjulu community with her husband, (also Samoan), who is the caretaker/general tradesperson in the community. Another Samoan worker, Mr Andrew Sua, also works in the Mutitjulu community, and as we featured in a previous feature report, Mr Sua has been working with indigenous communities in Alice Springs and elsewhere in the Nothern Territory for more that two decades. Ms Charlotte Allen has been appointed the Assistant Chief Executive Officer for the Mutitjulu Aboriginal Community Corporation, a non-profit enterprise that aims to improve services, educational and employment opportunities for the people of the Mutitjulu community. You can also check out our first episode in the 'Ina'ilau a Tama'itai' series on the Ina'ilau a Rita Seumanutafa, Samoan musicologist and community leader in Victoria. We are celebrating 50 years of broadcasting in the languages of the world, including Samoan.
