Acknowledgement of Country

We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of all the unceded lands, skies and waterways on which Deakin students and teachers come together. As we learn and teach through virtually and physically constructed places across time, we pay our deep respect to the Ancestors and Elders of Wadawurrung Country, Eastern Maar Country and Wurundjeri Country, as well as the Traditional Custodians of all the lands on which you may be learning and teaching, where education has taken place for many thousands of years.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander readers are advised that images of deceased First Nations Peoples are used in some of the activities. We also acknowledge that some of the language used to describe First Nations Peoples in the historical sources used is of its time and therefore would now be considered offensive or inaccurate. It is therefore important that students recognise and reflect on language and values within historical contexts.
