About us

The co-founders of the Indigenous Friends of Israel are Norman and Barbara Miller. Norman is Aboriginal and is of the Jirrbal, Bar-Barrum and Tableland Yidinji tribes. While the Indigenous Friends of Israel was founded in 2017, the Millers have been proactive in support of Israel for nearly 30 years. Norman’s Aboriginal name is Munganbana which means Mountain Water in the Jirrbal language. He is a pastor and artist (www.munganbana.com.au) and has been active in Indigenous affairs for over 30 years. In particular, he has been involved in campaigns for the constitutional recognition of First Nations people and the removal of racism from the constitution. He has also been involved in working for the return of stolen wages to First Nations people, Closing the Gap initiatives and hosting events for Reconciliation Week and NAIDOC (National Aborigines and Islanders Week). The Millers speak at many conferences in Australia and overseas and were blessed to take part in the World Christian Gathering on Indigenous People in New Zealand in 1996. The Millers spoke at the Sacred Assembly in Sagkeeng, a First Nations reserve in Manitoba Canada in 1997.
