First Nation

First Nation Logo

 

Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras acknowledges the Gadigal people of the Eora nation, who are the traditional owners of the land on which our celebrations are held on.

We pay our respects to elders past and present and extend that respect to other First Nations peoples.

Always was, always will be Aboriginal Land.
