    We are Saltwater People

    Join Richard Fejo, a Larrakia elder and Traditional Owner from Darwin, as he shares his story from being a wide-eyed young boy watching his family perform Welcome to Country ceremonies to being handed the reigns and eventually taking this culturally important ceremony to one of the biggest stages in Australia - one that went viral in fact!   “It awakens our ancestors. When they see us, they guide and protect us on Country, and that reminds us where we're from, and it gives us protection while we're on Country.”  When Australia’s First Nations peoples use the word Country, they are talking about the land, water and skies that they have family and ancestral connections to. The Larrakia people are the traditional owners and custodians of Darwin in the Northern Territory of Australia.
