First Stories Collective acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the Countries on which we live, work, gather and create. We pay respect to Elders past and present and recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the continuing custodians of lands, waters, cultures, stories and knowledge systems across this continent. 

We acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded. This always was and always will be Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander land.
