Artist Acknowledgement of Country/s and Cultural Conscience
I will begin by acknowledging the Yuggarabul Nation.
I Honour the Ainu people, the Okinawans and the Ryukyu of Japan. I will not allow them to be forgotten and pledge to assist awareness of them and attempt to learn their cultural traditions. I ask for support in this. National Australian Museum Blog related to Ainu
I clearly acknowledge the Ute people of the Pikes Peak Region, including the Cheyenne, Arapaho, Comanche, Kiowa, and Apache peoples. I acknowledge the Hohokam, Pima-Maricopa peoples and respect the land and your traditions of before, now and today.
I acknowledge the Cammeraygal people of the Eora tribe, that of the Yugambeh – Bunjalung language region; the traditional owners of the land on which I’ve lived, met.
I pay respect to elders past and present, all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples; of yesterday, today and tomorrow – pledge acts of reconciliation.
Sovereignty was never ceded!
