As an organization, Hawks Group pays respects to the cultures and heritage of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples – Indigenous peoples of Australia – and acknowledges their unique connection to the land, waters, and communities. We recognize the importance of this connection as an integral part of our nation’s history, one that has endured through centuries of Indigenous presence. We honor all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander elders – those living today, as well as those who have gone before us – for their strength, wisdom, and courage in preserving their cultural identities against overwhelming odds.
