Indigenous Culture
NGUNNAWAL COUNTRY
Canberra is Ngunnawal country and has been home to the Ngunnawal, Ngunawal and Ngambri peoples for over 20,000 years. Our city’s name, ‘Canberra,’ is thought to be derived from the Ngunnawal word for ‘meeting place,’ and the capital offers a range of indigenous experiences for your delegates to learn, share and participate in.
WELCOME TO COUNTRY
A Welcome to Country is an opportunity for the nation’s First Peoples to welcome visitors to their land through speech, song, dance or ceremony. The capital offers a range of indigenous experiences and acknowledgement protocols for your delegates to learn, share and participate in at events.
EXHIBITIONS AND TOURS
Parliament House, MoAD, the National Gallery and Museum of Australia share stories, Indigenous artworks, and offer special tours to gain a deep understanding of the experiences of Australia’s First Peoples. Visit the Aboriginal Tent Embassy on the lawns of Old Parliament House, travel back in time to become part of ‘The Dreaming’ on a Dhawura Aboriginal Culture Tour, discover the The Mununja Garden at the National Arboretum, and join the Reconciliation Place Walking Tour.
