Acknowledgement of Country

Written by Matthew Price

Sandhurst InCountry 450
The Diocese of Sandhurst recognises the traditional owners of the lands upon which we live, serve and worship.

We acknowledge the people of the Northeastern regions of our Diocese, Djilmathang, Minjajambuta, Duduroa and Waywurru.

We acknowledge the people of the Southern regions of our Diocese, the Dja Dja Wurrung and the Taungerung.

We acknowledge the people of the Northern regions of our Diocese, the Yorta Yorta and Bangerang.

We acknowledge the people of the Western regions of our Diocese, the Baraparapa peoples.

We respectfully honour and acknowledge their ongoing custodianship and their connections to the land, waters and animals. We pay our respects to their culture, their Elders, past, present and emerging, for they hold the memories, the traditions, the culture and the hopes of their peoples.

We express our gratitude in the sharing of this land, our sorrow for the personal, spiritual and cultural costs of that sharing and commit ourselves to actively working alongside First Nations People for healing, reconciliation and justice.
