I pay respect to the muwinina people, as the first inhabitants and continuing custodians of this land, on which I live and work. I acknowledge Elders – past, present and emerging. I share in their seas, for which I am grateful. I share of their soil, for which I am thankful. I share in their wealth, for which I am humbled.
