Yuma Dhawura nguna ngurumbangu gunanggu Ngunnawal. Nginggada dindi dhawura Ngunnawalbun yindjumaralidjinyin. Mura bidji mulanggaridjindjula. This country is Ngunnawal (ancestral/spiritual) homeland. We always show respect to elders, both male and female, as well as to Ngunnawal country itself. Together, we strive to honor the pathways of our ancestors.

As a tribute to Canberra's first inhabitants and Traditional Custodians, we acknowledge the Ngunnawal people and their special relationship with this Country. Prior to their displacement from their land, the Ngunnawal people thrived, with a deep connection to the land that is unique to them. The impact of this separation from their culture and land has had profound and ongoing effects on their health, well-being, and cultural practices.

We also recognize the historic interruption experienced by the Ngunnawal people and their significant contribution to caring for Country. For countless generations, they have maintained a strong connection to these lands and waters, encompassing cultural, social, environmental, spiritual, and economic aspects.

In addition to the Ngunnawal people, we acknowledge any other individuals or families with a connection to the lands of the ACT and region. We respect their continuing culture and appreciate the valuable contribution they make to the life of our city and region.
