Acknowledgment of Country

An Acknowledgment of Country is a respectful way to recognize the traditional custodians of the land where an event or gathering takes place. It’s a sign of respect for their ongoing connection to the land, history, and culture. While it doesn't replace asking for formal permission, it shows awareness and appreciation of the First Nations peoples’ enduring relationship with the land. This practice promotes understanding, reconciliation, and respect, fostering a more inclusive environment for all participants.
