Arkellah Irving
I acknowledge the Traditional Owners and custodians of the lands and waters my home and workplace is upon, Peramangk County, nestled in the Adelaide Hills.
​
I acknowledge the deep connection that the Peramangk People have had since time began and still have to these lands and waters, and am grateful to live where I do.
​
I acknowledge the Peramangk elders, past and present and the Peramangk young people, rising in their strength and leadership for their people.
​
I acknowledge my own journey of reconciliation, my visions of walking together and the many incredible Aboriginal people I have met, made friends with and worked with. Thank you for opening my eyes to your Dreamtime and the work yet to be done.
