This land has been home to my family for five generations. It has been home to the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung people for tens of thousands of years.

My ancestors came here as part of a colonial project. Our enjoyment of this land rests on the forcible dispossession of its traditional owners. Sovereignty was never ceded.

Native title for the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung people? Yes please!

It’s way past time to acknowledge our histories. Let us care for this living land together.
