Acknowledgement of Country

From The Flame Trees is a proud Aboriginal business that acknowledges the true history of this land, known today as Australia. We recognise the devastating impact that Colonisation, stolen land, mass murder, massacres, genocide, stolen children, forced assimilation and criminalisation of languages and Lore historically had, and continues to have on Aboriginal people, families and communities.

We recognise the deep connection that Aboriginal people share with the sacred elements of land, sea, sky and spirit, and the rich culture that is woven through the earth, water and songlines of this nation. For over 65.000 years Aboriginal people have nurtured this ancient connection to culture, community and Country, and we'll continue to preserve and protect all that is sacred for many generations to come.

From The Flame Trees pays deep respect to Elders of the past who endured atrocities that still echo through time. They were Custodians, caretakers and keepers of cultural knowledge who fought and died for our freedom. We acknowledge Elders of the present for the scars of the past that they carry, and their wisdom, guidance and ongoing efforts to support and improve the lives of Aboriginal people. We recognise our young people as emerging Elders of the future, who will carry the flame of our ancestors, representing hope for Aboriginal people - The oldest living culture in the world.
