Acknowledgement

The Australian Earth Laws Alliance (AELA) and the Australian Peoples’ Tribunal acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the traditional owners and custodians of the land on which the Tribunal meets and operates.

AELA and the Tribunal acknowledge that the sovereignty of the First Nations People of the continent now known as Australia was never ceded by treaty nor in any other way. The Tribunal proceedings acknowledge and respect First Nations Peoples’ laws and ecologically sustainable custodianship of Australia over tens of thousands of years through land and sea management practices that continue today.
