Country Needs People - Supporter Voices

No one else knows and loves the land like Indigenous peoples. Having lived here for more than 40,000 years, having them as rangers and getting paid is the best idea ever. I hope it continues to cut down the rate of jail terms and give them back the country that was stolen so long ago. Their smiles tell me it is working.

Country Needs People is a national not-for-profit organisation born from the support of hundreds of Traditional Owners around the country.

We pay our respects to all the First Nations people around Australia and their unbroken commitment to keep Country strong on land and sea. We acknowledge Indigenous partners, Traditional Owners, Elders past, present and emerging and extend our appreciation of their support and guidance of our daily work.

ALWAYS WAS, ALWAYS WILL BE, ABORIGINAL LAND.
