First Nations

The Northern Territory Government respectfully acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Nations people of this country. 

We acknowledge the continuing connection to lands, waters and communities, and the evolving cultures of all our First Nations peoples. 

We pay our respects to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, and to their leaders - past, present, and emerging. Strategies, services and outcomes relating to Aboriginal Territorians should be read to include both Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Territorians.
