Hangin' Out would like to acknowledge the work it does on the Traditional Lands of the Wotjobaluk, Jaadwa, Jadawadjali, Wergaia and Japagulk peoples in the northern areas of our use and the Traditional Lands of the local Djub Wurrung and Jardwadjali peoples, to which, I pay respects to their elders past, present and future. I give thanks for the sharing of their Country with Hangin' Out to conduct our work. Through our work, I hope to help people connect, respect and learn about the rich cultural heritage of this region and to assist in the protection and preservation of this heritage in Gariwerd and the ecology within.
