Nate Tikigeer Woolford, a Gooreng Gooreng man, is disrupting the colony, one day at a time. With over twenty-five years of experience, he is one of Australia's leading authorities on Aboriginal heritage, culture, and engagement. His journey has taken him through diverse realms including heritage and collection management, native title, archaeology, anthropology, education, mediation, negotiation, compliance, policy, and research.

His collaborations span a broad spectrum, with many Aboriginal groups and communities across Australia, to large and small corporations, and from local to federal government bodies. He holds a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Anthropology and a Graduate Diploma in Philosophy from the University of Queensland.
In 2022, Nate joined Flinders University, where he lectures in Indigenous Studies, Museology, and Archaeology. He is also undertaking a PhD, working on a thesis entitled "Culture versus Commodity."
