Words To Grow acknowledges the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the lands, sea, sky and waterways on which we live and work. We pay our respects to the Elders past and present who continue cultural and spiritual connections to country. We recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander languages, cultures and ways of being as valuable and significant to Australia and to our work as speech pathologists and educators.
Words To Grow pays deep respect to Sharon “mirri” Bell for her soulful acknowledgement of Elders and Country in her song Walking on Country – Ngurambangga Yanhanha in the language of the Wiradyuri people. Sharon is a musician and storyteller working in Early Childhood Education and you can view her music and work at Indigenous Insights.
