Uncle Glen Miller is a Butchulla elder who is a teacher, mentor, friend and support person to many.
Having worked in state government, Glen knows how best to bring about change. In 2015, he founded Butchulla Men’s Business Aboriginal Association (BMBAA) to help the young Indigenous men of the Fraser Coast reclaim their cultural identity and heritage. BMBAA strives to support boys to transition into men who have respect, responsibility and pride; all are welcome, whether Indigenous or not, through the Rites of Passage program.
He is on several Fraser Coast committees and works with local high schools to support young Indigenous people and spread Aboriginal history and culture within the community. Glen was also the driving force behind the Butchulla Warrior’s Memorial, which recognises the fight by local Indigenous men for their country. It’s the only memorial of its kind in Australia and was successful in winning both the Community and Premier`s Reconciliation Award in the 2024 Queensland Reconciliation Awards.
