Yuma Dhawura nguna ngurumbangu gunanggu Ngunnawal. Nginggada dindi dhawura Ngunnawalbun yindjumaralidjinyin. Mura bidji mulanggaridjindjula. (Translation: This country is Ngunnawal ancestral and spiritual homeland. We always respect Ngunnawal elders, both male and female, as well as the Ngunnawal country itself. They continue to honor the pathways of their ancestors and walk together as one.)

At Goorooyarroo Nature Reserve, we proudly acknowledge the Ngunnawal people as Canberra's first inhabitants and Traditional Custodians. We deeply recognize the special relationship and connection that the Ngunnawal people have with this Country.

It is important to acknowledge that prior to the displacement of the Ngunnawal people from their land, they were a thriving community whose life and culture were intrinsically linked to this land in ways that only they understand and know. The separation from their Culture and Country has had enduring and profound effects on their health, well-being, cultural practices, families, and the continuation of their law and lore.

We also acknowledge the historic interruption faced by the Ngunnawal people of Canberra and their surrounding regions. We honor and appreciate their significant contribution in caring for Country. For countless generations, they have maintained a tangible and intangible connection to these lands and waters, encompassing cultural, social, environmental, spiritual, and economic aspects.

Furthermore, we acknowledge the Ngunnawal people as the traditional custodians of the ACT and recognize any other people or families with a connection to the lands of the ACT and region. We respect and value their enduring culture and the invaluable contribution they make to the life of this city and region.
