Ingkerreke is an Arrernte word meaning ‘All Together’, this is represented through the 11 active founding homelands Artekerre (Harry Creek), Yamba-Mpweringe (Burt Creek), Akngwirrweltye, Yamba / Snake Well), Alkupitja (Gillen Bore), Arnapipe (Sandy Bore), Pwayne (Williams Well), Athenge-Lhere (16 Mile), Were-Therre (Hamilton Downs), Undoolya (Mt Undoolya), Aluralkwe (Little Well), Aulperenge (Corkwood Bore). They have entered a partnership with the Northern Territory Government.

Ingkerreke is recognised for its role in advocating, representing, supporting, and delivering services and projects to additional homelands.

The Ingkerreke Agreement identifies two key priority areas:

• Develop our active founding member homelands through being formally recognised as their representative body, and improve engagement, service delivery coordination, service delivery outcomes and advocacy.
• Deliver municipal services and infrastructure projects and provide advocacy and support to improve sustainability and quality of life for homelands Ingkerreke supports across Central Australia.

The Northern Territory Government will continue working with Ingkerreke to implement the deliverables under the Agreement.
