Acknowledgement of Country

Whether you are indigenous or not, consider including an ‘Acknowledgement of Country’ to your ceremony which is a way that all people can show respect for Aboriginal culture and heritage and the ongoing relationship the Traditional Custodians have with the land. Something similar to the following could be said:

“I wish to acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land we stand on today and I pay my respects to the Elders past and present.”
