i acknowledge the custodians of the lands i work and live on, the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation and the Darramuragal people of the Darug nation 

i offer my respects to their elders past, present, and emergent, and to their kin - human, vegetal, animal, and elemental 

the lands of Gadigal and Darramuragal were taken without consent, treaty, or compensation

they are lands whose stories have historically been stolen, silenced, and sanitized

they are lands of ongoing Indigenous survivance, continuance, and resurgence

Indigenous lands - always have been, always will be
