There is so much to be gained from Traditional Owners caring for their seas and lands and being respected for their knowledge. After the displacement and separation their previous generations have endured since colonisation, it is a conciliatory responsibility that we, Australians, acknowledge traditional Owners as the rightful custodians of these areas in real terms by supporting and committing to their plans for their seas and lands.

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.
