From Aunty Patsy Cameron

Yah pulingina Meena yah pulingina neena melythina.

 

From the deepest valleys of my heart, I honour and pay my respects to the memory of the Stoney Creek Nation - the Tyerenoterpanner, Leetermaireener and Panninher clans.

 

To our fantastic Poatina community and those of you who are visiting this place, I thank you for your sensitivity and respect of Aboriginal land and the acknowledgement that reaffirms this country was indeed a land of many people.

Poatina Arts

is working towards an inclusive and caring society where all individuals find their place and contribute with creativity and dignity.
