We acknowledge the Whadjuk people of the Noongar Nation as the custodians of the lands where this collective began. Our writers acknowledge the traditional and ongoing custodianship of the Amangu, Ballardong, Yued, Kaneang, Koreng, Mineng, Njakinjaki, Njunga, Pibelmen, Pindjarup, Wadandi, Whadjuk, Wiilman and Wudjari people which make up the 14 Noongar Nations of our home. We acknowledge that sovereignty has never been ceded, that this place always was, and always will be Noongar land. We pay our respect to the Elders of the past and present day.
