Ideas For Acknowledging First Nations Peoples

Welcome! This page is dedicated to sharing respectful ideas for Acknowledgements of Country, specifically focusing on the Yugambeh regional language area.

Local Acknowledgement of Country

"We respectfully acknowledge the Yugambeh language peoples, including the traditional clans who have walked upon, cared for, and lived on this land in the Ormeau region for thousands of years. We pay our respects to Elders past, present, and emerging, and extend that respect to all First Nations peoples here today."

Community Action Ideas

Extend NAIDOC Celebrations: Move beyond just one week and create a month-long focus on local Aboriginal history, art, and guest speakers in schools, universities, and jobs.
Learn Local Language: Share and practice everyday greetings or place names from the Yugambeh language within the community.
Support Indigenous Creators: Feature books, music, and artwork created by First Nations individuals in communal spaces or school libraries.
