Northern and Western Homelessness Network's Welcome Announcement of Treaty

The Northern & Western Homelessness Networks (NWHN) support Treaty.

As Networks we recognise the power and ongoing resilience of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in their fight for justice and sovereignty.

We acknowledge the more than 60,000 years of custodianship and connection to this continent, and the enduring culture of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

We acknowledge that the over-representation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples without safe and affordable housing is a direct consequence of colonisation.

We acknowledge we live and work on unceded Aboriginal land.

We seek to be authentic allies to First Nations peoples and stand in solidarity with their vision for Truth-Telling and Treaty.
