Keech would like to acknowledge that we are located on the traditional lands of the Dja Dja Wurrung and the Taungurung Peoples of the Kulin Nation.

We extend our appreciation for the Dja Dja Wurrung People, the Traditional Custodians of the land where we live, learn and work.

Today, we pay our respects to leaders and Elders past, present and emerging for they hold the memories, the traditions, the culture and the hopes of all Dja Dja Wurrung Peoples.

We express our gratitude in the sharing of this land, our sorrow for the personal, spiritual and cultural costs of that sharing and our hope that we may walk forward together in harmony and in the spirit of healing.
