Traditional Owners from across South Australia have provided the Department of State Development, Aboriginal Affairs
and Reconciliation
with their preferred wording for a Statement Acknowledgement on their country.
In areas where Native Title claims overlap or no Native Title claim has been lodged, it is recommended that the following General Statement of Acknowledgement
is used:
I would like to acknowledge the traditional owners of the land on which we meet today and pay my respects to their Elders past and present and extend that respect to other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who are present today.
