Acknowledgment of Traditional landowners
We would like to acknowledge and give respect to the Awaba Custodians past, present and emerging who care for the land, waterways, skyways, animals, and people of the area in which we learn and play. We would like to honour the spiritual guidance and the depth of understanding within the story-telling traditions and interactions with Country of all First Nations peoples. Within Muloobinba Waldorf Minamba, we acknowledge that our community are on Lands that were never ceded and openly accept our responsibility to walk in truthful songlines for a connected future.
