We acknowledge our Elders and honour the resilience, wisdom, and guidance of our elders.
They are custodians of cultural knowledge, traditions, and spirituality. They are our vital link between the modern world and Aboriginal history and culture.
Our elders are the foundation of our communities and role models for our children.
Our elders have encountered the many changes, so much pain, heartbreak, and injustices but they keep fighting.
We are forever grateful and respectful. With our Elders strength and courage, let them guide us and make them proud.
