The project team acknowledges the Elders, families and forebears of the Boonwurrung and Woiwurrung of the Kulin who were the custodians of the land in the West of Melbourne for many centuries. We recognise and respect the traditional owners of the land on which the houses, workplaces and events discussed in this project took place.
The lands of the Boonwurrung and Woiwurrung are places of age-old ceremonies of celebration and initiation. They are also places from where community aspirations for social justice were renewed and fought for with great energy.
