NYWF Needs More Game Makers!
In following with the example set by the festival. I would like to acknowledge the Awabakal and Worimi peoples, who are the traditional custodians of the land the festival was held on, and that this podcast was made on. I pay respect to their elders past and present as well as to any listeners with a connection to the world’s oldest continuing culture. I would also like to acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded and this always was and always will be Aboriginal land.

Let us see if I can convince you, while I pay homage to The Mixed Six. Continue reading “NYWF Needs More Game Makers!”
