A statement from the owner of The Little Press about these prints, “I was inspired by the Acknowledgement to Country which we often hear or see at events, on websites or on branded material from companies.  I thought it would be sweet to create one to be used at home, where families could learn the names of the region and peoples of their area. The AIATSIS map is a really handy resource, but of course, the opportunity is always there to research and learn in a cultural exchange. I envisage this displayed in a home, or on the fridge, an important reminder in our homes. The smaller print is a general Acknowledgement Of Country that can be used anywhere, and is inclusive of all regions.

If we can pay respects to the traditional  landowners of the place we live here in Australia, then surely we can’t stand by and watch mining giants rip apart the land and destroy sacred places, of the oldest living culture in the world, and live with systemic racism towards Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

“The “Welcome To Country '' is a protocol for welcoming visitors to Country has been a part of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures for thousands of years. Despite the absence of fences or visible borders, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander clans had clear boundaries separating their Country from that of other clans. Crossing into another tribe's Country required a request for permission to enter. When permission was granted the hosting tribe would welcome the visitors, offering them safe passage and protection of their spiritual being during the journey. While visitors were provided with a safe passage, they also had to respect the protocols and rules of the land owner’s tribe while on their Country.” From the City Of Femantle website.”
