Country Needs People - Supporter Voices

Because when I lived and worked with Indigenous communities in Arnhem Land NT for many years it was clear that the original custodians of the land understand the land intimately. They also took their responsibility of being custodians very seriously, as part of their very being. If we want country to survive we need to employ all the skills and knowledge of the Indigenous people who live in and on the country. It's the only way to go reall5. To do otherwise is very backward and wrong headed.

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.
