NAIDOC WEEK – ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF COUNTRY

 

Councillor Jacob Madsen (Chairperson) moved the following acknowledgement of Country in celebration of NAIDOC Week:

 

I would like to begin today by acknowledging the traditional custodians of Country throughout Australia and recognise their continuing connection to land, waters and community. I pay my respect to their continuing culture and the contribution they make to the life of this city and this region. I honour the Elders, past, present and emerging and I extend my welcome to the Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander people who are present today for they hold the memories, the traditions, the culture and hopes of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples across the nation.

 

Ipswich City Council’s Indigenous Accord is Council’s strategic framework for reconciliation and community governance with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples and their communities. This supports Council to use its influence to promote reconciliation, developing respectful relationships and creating meaningful opportunities with First Nation’s peoples.

 

The strategy represents and encourages both Indigenous and Non-Indigenous People coming together, living and working towards a brighter future for the City of Ipswich.
