We thank and honour the Aboriginal People of this Land

I wanted to share a quote that is in the front of our handbook.    It is by Nginitja, Elder, Pitjantjatjara Anangu.

"We ask that when you walk on the hills and beaches and through the forests of this Land, you remember, respect and honour the thousands of generations of the Old People who walked upon, cared for and nurtured this Land so that it in turn would care for and nurture the generations that followed them.  When you meet their descendants during your stay here, remember that they are the descendants and traditional custodians of the Land, and thank and honour them for sharing It and their knowledge with you."

"When you walk and sit down in this Country, remember that wherever you walk, and wherever you sit, someone has walked and sat there before you."
