Palya' is a Pintupi language word meaning 'good'. The word 'Palya' is also a way of greeting. For instance, seeing someone again one would say “Palya?” an answer might be “Yuwa” – meaning yes – 'Palya'. Palya exists largely to service Indigenous communities largely because of the passion of their directors, however, Palya is expanding to other companies and industries that share the same vision and wish to access their product range for mutual benefit.
Palya has many years supply chain experience within the importation, manufacture and wholesaling industries now supplying merchandise to community stores, supermarket chains, retail outlets and major industry. If you're looking for an organisation for supply which gives back, please get in touch with the team at Palya.
Palya was founded by leading Indigenous Rap Artist, Jacob Nichaloff aka “J Milla”, as the original director and chief Ambassador of Palya. He was born and bred in the northern Australian city of Darwin and is a loud and proud member of the Indigenous Mak Mak Marranunggu people, who are the traditional landowners of the Litchfield National Park area of the Northern Territory.
More recently, Palya was acquired by Mai Wiru Regional Stores Council Aboriginal Corporation (Mai Wiru); an unfunded, not-for-profit organisation which is registered as a charity by the ATO.
