Abstract
The significance of the customary 'Welcome to Country' ceremony offered by an Indigenous elder before any major cultural and civic event in Australia at present is discussed. It is suggested that although the ceremony is only a symbolic acknowledgement of the traditional owners of the land, it serves to continue the memory of the interrelation between Indigenous and white Australians by using the pedagogy of place or land.
