Acknowledgement of Country
The ASP acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the unceded land on which we work, learn and live. The Yugambeh Language Speaking (YLS) Peoples. The YLS Peoples consist of the clans of the Mununjali; Wangerriburra; Kombumerri, Migunberri; Birrinburra; and Minjungbal. The region from the Logan River in the north, south to the Tweed River and west to the mountain range, are the traditional homelands of the Yugambeh Language Speaking (YLS) Peoples. This Region is also known to the YLS Peoples as the Land of Five Rivers (Dangan Bullen). The modern description is the Gold Coast. We acknowledge and pay respects to the Yugambeh Language Speaking People of the Land of Five Rivers, and all their descendants both past and present. (Click for full Acknowledgement).
We also acknowledge the many Aboriginal people from other regions as well as Torres Strait and South Sea Islander people who now live in the local area and have made an important contribution to the community.
We recognise the unique place held by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the original owners and custodians of the lands and waterways across the Australian continent, with histories of continuous connection dating back more than 60,000 years. We also acknowledge their enduring cultural practices of caring for Country.
We pay respect to Elders past, present and future, and acknowledge the importance of Indigenous knowledge in the Academy. As a community of researchers, teachers, professional staff and students we are privileged to work and learn every day with Indigenous colleagues and partners.
In making this Acknowledgment of Country we commit to respectful and responsible conduct towards all others according to the Traditional lores of this land, particularly at times of formal ceremony.
