TEDxKings Park: Justice

Acknowledgement of Country TEDxKings Park acknowledges the Wadjuk people of the Noongar Nation, the traditional custodians of the land on which Kings Park, the city of Perth and the metropolitan region are located.

We recognise their continuing connection to the land, waters and community of this area and pay our respects to their elders past, present and emerging.

It is an honour for us to be meeting here today.
