Description
The Government of Western Australia acknowledges the traditional custodians of the diverse lands across the state, honoring their deep and enduring connection to the land, waters, and community. This recognition is a vital acknowledgment of the Aboriginal peoples’ unique history, culture, and contributions as the original inhabitants of the region.
For tens of thousands of years, Aboriginal peoples have maintained a spiritual and physical connection to their country, fostering sustainable practices and profound cultural traditions. These connections continue to shape their identity and their communities today. The acknowledgment reflects an effort to respect and preserve this heritage while promoting inclusivity and reconciliation.
By paying respect to all members of Aboriginal communities and recognizing Elders both past and present, the government demonstrates its commitment to honoring their leadership and wisdom. Elders are pivotal in preserving cultural knowledge, passing down stories, traditions, and teachings to future generations.
This acknowledgment is not merely a symbolic gesture but a step toward fostering mutual understanding and respect. It reminds all Western Australians of their shared responsibility to protect the cultural heritage and natural environment of the land they inhabit while supporting efforts for equality, empowerment, and unity among all communities.
