In recognition of the deep history and culture of Lutruwita, we acknowledge and pay our respects to all Tasmanian Aboriginal people, in particular their Elders, past and present. We specifically acknowledge the Mumirimina People of the Oyster Bay Tribe, the Traditional Owners of the land on which The Tassie Event is being held. We extend our respects to their Elders, past and present who have resided in the area and have been an integral part of the history of this region.
