Signed certificate of authenticity.

A Welcome to Country is a protocol where Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander Traditional Owners welcome others to the land of their ancestors. 
The Welcome to Country ceremony is carried out at significant events and formal functions involving people from other parts of the country or from overseas. This practice shows respect for the Traditional Owners and Elders of a particular area or regionThere are three types of Acknowledgement of Country:
Generic — this should be used if you don’t know the name of the people on whose land you are gathered, or if there are disputes about the land (multiple Aboriginal peoples identify as Traditional Custodians for that area). The words are:
'I begin today by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we today, and pay my respects to their Elders past and present. I extend that respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples here today.'
Specific — this should be used where there are no disputes and you know the name of the people on whose land you are gathered.

This artwork is inspired by the Cunnamulla Aboriginal culture, which comprises five different tribes: the Kunja people, who are the traditional owners of the Cunnamulla area, and the Kooma, Budjiti, Mardigan, and Kullilli people. This artwork is a tribute to the rich and diverse Aboriginal culture of Cunnamulla, a town in the outback of Queensland, Australia."MY COUNTRY MY PEOPLE," it is personal work for me. This painting describes the storyline of the Aboriginal country where my mob is from, as well as the story of my life in the arts. This suggests that the painting is a way for the me to connect with my heritage and culture. The use of colour and movement in the painting is also evocative of Aboriginal Australian art.Discover the Mystical World of Aboriginal Art Uncover the Secrets of Aboriginal Art - Rich in Symbolism and Storytelling The artwork described seems to be a rich tapestry of vibrant colours and textures, achieved through the layering of acrylics mixed with Liquitex Soft Gel.

The cultural landscape of Cunnamulla is a vibrant mosaic, where the ancient traditions of the Warrego River, paralleling the story of Cunnamulla, stand as a testament to both constancy and transformation, mirroring the town's evolution from its ancient origins to its current role as a center of commerce and culture.Aboriginal art serves as a portal to Australia's essence, narrating the tales of the Dreamtime, the revered epoch of creation in Aboriginal mythology. The Balaang Healing initiative captures this essence, merging the visual magnificence of art with the deep-rooted cultural traditions of healing and community.Dreamtime stories are central to Aboriginal spirituality and identity. Tales such as the Seven Sisters Jukurrpa are not merely myths; they are affirmations of a vibrant culture and the laws that dictate social relationships within Aboriginal communities.The Dreamtime Serpent, pivotal in Aboriginal mythology, symbolizes the interconnection of life and the environment, a concept that profoundly echoes in our current era as we strive to comprehend our role in the natural world.
