Ẹlẹ́wà began on the lands of the Gayamaygal and Garigal peoples, on the Northern Beaches of so-called Australia. The stories, care, and custodianship run deep through this place.

We honour Elders past and present, cultures that endure, and Country that speaks.

Sovereignty was never ceded.

Across these lands and across the globe  Indigenous peoples continue to hold, heal, and resist in the face of ongoing colonisation. Their wisdom is not history. It is alive, embodied, and unbroken.

To the ancestors;  mine, yours, those of the many diasporas, and those whose people have always been home, you are the rhythm underfoot, the breath in our rituals, the light that guides our hands.

These offerings are for you. With you. Because of you.

Èṣé.
