I acknowledge the Gubbi Gubbi people, the traditional custodians of this land, whose connection to Country spans thousands of generations. I pay my deepest respects to Elders past, present, and emerging, recognising their ongoing relationship with these lands, waters, and communities.
This is, was, and always will be Aboriginal land. I honour the rich cultural heritage, the deep spiritual connection to Country, and the profound wisdom of the Gubbi Gubbi people. Their sovereignty was never ceded, and their stories continue to breathe life into this landscape.
I commit to learning, listening, and walking alongside First Nations peoples in a spirit of respect, understanding, and collaborative healing.
As a Filipina with deep roots of colonization: I see you. I am with you.
