Australia’s First Peoples

Northern Cemeteries acknowledges the unique status of Australia’s First Peoples as the original people of this land. We recognise their cultures, histories and ongoing

relationship and obligations to the land and waterways.

We recognise their traditional homelands or “Country” remains a pivotal aspect of their Lore, identity, culture and well-being. There have always been linguistic, social

and legal boundaries and a range of protocols regarding entering and crossing borders.

Acknowledging Country is a way for visitors to offer respect. It is believed if you look after Country it will, in return, look after you.

In the spirit of reconciliation, Field of Mars Cemetery acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land, the Darug People. The spirit of the Darug can be found across

the landscape of this region and we honour the memory of their ancestors.
