We would like to acknowledge the Biripi people who are the Traditional Custodians of the land on which Restorative Communication was founded. We would also like to pay respect to the Elders both past and present of the Biripi Nation and extend that respect to all other Aboriginal people.

The ‘first peoples’ of this planet developed social technologies we are still attempting to fully comprehend. We are just starting to appreciate the contribution ‘first peoples’ made in developing circle processes that contribute to social harmony, decision making and healing.

We wish to acknowledge the people who came before us, all ‘first people’ and in particular Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people on whose land we now live. May we honour them with our actions.
