Power Back acknowledges and respects Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the first people and recognises their traditional relationship with Country. ​We acknowledge the spiritual, social, cultural and economic practices of Aboriginal people come from their traditional lands, sky and waters, and that the cultural and heritage beliefs, languages and laws are still of importance today.
