AcKnowledgement of COuntry
We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the Ngunnawal and Ngambri peoples where we have met in studio to record. We acknowledge the neighbouring people of the Gundungurra to the north, the Ngarigo to the south, the Yuin on the coast, and the Wiradjuri Peoples inland. We celebrate the diversity of Aboriginal peoples, their ongoing cultures and connections to the lands and waters of these places upon which we meet.
We also acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the Wathaurong peoples, the Wurundjeri peoples in Narrm, and the Dharawal peoples of the Eora Nation from where our podcast guests have harnessed 21st century technology to connect across Songlines.
We pay our respects to Elders past, present and knowledge holders and acknowledge that even in the digital sphere all that we do is done with feet planted in Country rich in First Nation Peoples’ heritage and tradition. We acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded and carry this truth with us into our day and all our days to come as we seek to honour the wisdom of the Ancestors and play our own rightful part as Second Nations Peoples.
