“Footprints of Our Ancestors” honours the enduring legacy of Aboriginal peoples and their profound connection to Country. This piece reflects the wisdom passed down through generations, guiding us towards healing our lands and spirits through storytelling, culture, and art. The red, yellow, and black evoke the strength and resilience of Aboriginal culture, symbolising the unbroken connection to Country and the vital importance of learning from the legacy of our Elders. By embracing this legacy, we continue the journey of healing, growth, and unity for future generations.
Reconciliation means…
Reconciliation is about recognising the truths of our shared past to build a stronger, culturally rich future. It’s a journey of learning from our ancestors and Elders, whose wisdom and knowledge guide us. By embracing this legacy, we can educate future generations, fostering respect, understanding, and unity, ensuring the strength of Aboriginal culture endures.
