A Welcome to Country is a ritual or formal ceremony performed as a land acknowledgement at many events held in Australia. It is intended to highlight the cultural significance of the surrounding area to the descendants of a particular Aboriginal clan or language group who were recognised as the original human inhabitants of the area. For the Welcome to be recognised as official, it must be performed by a recognised elder of the group. Welcomes to Country are sometimes accompanied by traditional smoking ceremonies, music or dance. Where an elder is not available to perform the Welcome, or there is not a recognised traditional owner, an Acknowledgement of Country may be offered instead.

dbo:abstract
  • Una Bienvenida al País es un ritual o ceremonia formal protagonizada como un reconocimiento a la tierra llevado adelante en varios eventos organizados en Australia. Está creado con la finalidad de destacar la significancia cultural de un territorio para un Clan de Aborígenes en particular, los cuales son reconocidos como los dueños tradicionales de dicho territorio. La Bienvenida debe ser siempre protagonizada por un Anciano de dicho Clan. Las mismas suelen ser acompañadas en diferentes ocasiones por ceremonias de fumadores tradicionales, música o danza. Cuando un Anciano no esta disponible para protagonizar la Bienvenida o no hay un dueño tradicional reconocido, un Reconocimiento del País podría ser ofrecido en su lugar. El término "País" tiene un significado particular para los Pueblos Aborígenes, que abarca la relación de interdependencia que se mantiene entre los diferentes Individuos de esos Pueblos y sus entornos tradicionales o ancestrales. La conexión con la tierra envuelve a la cultura, a la espiritualidad, a la lengua, al derecho y la tradición, a las relaciones de parentesco y también de identidad. La Bienvenida al País ha sido una larga tradición mantenida entre los diferentes grupos de Aborígenes Australianos para recibir a personas de otras partes. Hoy en día sirve también como símbolo del reconocimiento que Australia brinda a los Pueblos Aborígenes e Isleños del Estrecho de Torres, excluidos durante muchos años de la Sociedad Australiana pese a su existencia previa al proceso de colonización. Desde el 2008 en adelante, una Bienvenida al País ha sido incorporada dentro del protocolo ceremonial que existe alrededor de la apertura del Parlamento Australiano, la cual toma lugar luego de cada Elección Federal.

Where an elder is not available to perform the Welcome, or there is not a recognised traditional owner, an Acknowledgement of Country may be offered instead. The term "Country" has a particular meaning and significance to many Aboriginal peoples, encompassing an inter-dependent relationship between an individual or a people and their ancestral or traditional lands and seas. The connection to land involves culture, spirituality, language, law/lore, kin relationships and identity. The Welcome to Country has been a long tradition among Aboriginal Australian groups to welcome peoples from other areas. Today it serves also as a symbol which signifies the recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples' presence in Australia before colonisation and an end to their past exclusion from Australian history and society, aiding to reconciliation with Australia's First Nations. Since 2008, a Welcome to Country has been incorporated into the ceremonial opening of the Parliament of Australia, occurring after each federal election. (en)

  • I asked the good spirits of my ancestors and the good spirits of the ancestors of the land to watch over us and keep our guests safe while they’re in our Country. And then I talked to the spirits of their ancestors, saying that we’re looking after them here and we will send them back to their Country. (en)
