MAKO Architecture practice on country fostered by at least Gadigal, Garigal, Gayamaygal, Ngunnawal and Ngambri people. The subject of our practice extends to many more places.
We recognise that certainty around some of the names and meanings of these places have been lost as a consequence of traditional owners having been told to give up their language, stop practicing ceremony and hide their Aboriginality. It was not traditional owner’s wish that this information be lost, and it is not our anticipation that responsibility for certainty around these facts, nor the weight of reparation of country should be borne by traditional owners alone.
With respect to the places we inhabit, work on and work for, we recognise the traditional owners and their descendants as having continuing connection to country, and thank them for fostering country since time immemorial.
We acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded and that the earth, waters and skies associated with this continent always have been and always will be of it’s traditional owners. In line with the NSW Government Architect Connecting With Country Framework we commit to helping support the health and wellbeing of Country and do this through valuing, respecting, and being guided by Aboriginal people. We agree wholeheartedly in the notion that if we care for Country, it will care for us.
We pay our respects to Elders past and present, and extend that respect to any First Nations people engaging with our practice.
