|  | APAPDC's Acknowledgment of Country
This statement is used by Brian Giles-Browne in the work he does in New South Wales.
We acknowledge the traditional custodians of this land and pay our respects to the elders both past, present and future for they hold the memories, the traditions, the culture and hopes of Aboriginal Australia. We must always remember that under the concrete and asphalt this land is, was and always will be traditional Aboriginal land.
The following statement was used at the Dare to Lead national, state and territory launches. You are welcome to adapt it to your own situation (eg using the name of the people intstead of the generic 'first people', changing the last line so it refers to your particular project, agreement etc).
Paying respect to the first peoples on whose land we are,
Acknowledging the loss of lands, cultures and treasures,
Knowing the consequences for people, communities and nations,
Believing we can walk together to a better future,
We meet today, taking it on.
