Description
The Government of Western Australia recognizes and honors the traditional custodians of the land across the state. This acknowledgment reflects a deep respect for the Aboriginal peoples, who have lived on and cared for this land for tens of thousands of years. Their enduring connection to the land, waters, and community is central to their cultural identity and spirituality.
By acknowledging the traditional custodians, the Government emphasizes the importance of reconciliation and celebrates the rich cultural heritage that Aboriginal communities contribute to Western Australia. This respect extends to recognizing their rights, histories, and the significant role they continue to play in shaping the state’s identity.
Paying respects to Elders, both past and present, highlights the wisdom, leadership, and guidance of Aboriginal leaders throughout generations. Elders are custodians of stories, traditions, and knowledge, and their contributions ensure that Aboriginal cultures remain vibrant and enduring.
This acknowledgment is more than a symbolic gesture; it is a step toward fostering inclusivity, understanding, and a shared commitment to a better future. It invites all Western Australians to reflect on the history of the land and its First Peoples while working together to strengthen the bonds between cultures.
