Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultural material

We acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the lands and waters we travel through, and their continuing connection to Country. We pay our respects to Elders past and present.

Origae claims no ownership of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander traditional knowledge, stories, language, place names or cultural expression. These belong to their communities. If a story uses cultural material in a way that should change, please tell us and we will review it promptly.
