Welcome to Country: Simon Forrest

A traditional Aboriginal blessing, the Welcome to Country symbolises the traditional owners' consent to an event taking place on their land.

Simon Forrest, a Wadjuk Nyungar elder, explains the ritual as he performs a 'smoking ceremony'.

A Welcome to Country is performed at all major events at Curtin, acknowledging the Nyungar people as the traditional owners of the land upon which the Perth campus sits.
