Cultural events and ceremonies create spaces for both First Nations and non-First Nations people to come together. They provide opportunities to celebrate, share and keep First Nations Culture strong. Whether organising an event or simply attending, it's important that these events are respectful, inclusive, and culturally safe for everyone involved.

A Welcome to Country is an address given by a First Nations custodian of the land or waters on which an event is being held. It is usually included in the official opening of events. 

An Acknowledgement of Country recognises Country and the Traditional Custodians of lands and waters where we live, work and play. When done meaningfully, Acknowledgments help to create culturally safe spaces and build relationships between First Nations and non-First Nations people.
