Acknowledgement of Country
Home > Acknowledgement of Country
We at the Metanoia Engine Dev Team acknowledge that Australia, this country, is founded on stolen land. The rightful owners of these lands are the First Nations who were here before us. We want to pay respects to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people that were here before us.
A lot of the knowledge we have gathered for our game has come from both Aboriginal sources of knowledge and Non-Aboriginal sources of knowledge. Without the care, knowledge and culture that came from these lands before the colonisation of Australia, we would not have been able to create this game to share with others. This game has been worked on primarily in Dharug land for the 10 years of progress we have made.
We want to create an Acknowledgement of Country that is representative of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people of today, something that is less corporate while remaining respectful to fit in with the culture that we respect dearly. That is why we have contacted multiple land councils and have spoken to people who identify as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander for what we can do to allow their voices to be heard. We want to hear Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander voices and allow them to be seen and heard in the Tabletop RPG scene.
