Marist Indigenous Round

Pathways to Community - Marist Indigenous Artwork by Peter O'Callaghan

This weekend we are recognising Marist Indigenous round. Our timing reflects a date between the national apology to indigenous people on 13 February (2008) and National Close the Gap Day on 19 March. Each team is invited to mark Indigenous round should they wish. Our fighting firsts can use our indigenous stumps. Coaches may wish to hold a circle, barefoot or otherwise and use the opportunity to give an acknowledgement of country, and consider recognising the ongoing strength and resilience of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in sustaining the world’s oldest living cultures. We stand with Cricket ACT who celebrate the participation of First Nations peoples, families and communities, and recognise their individual and collective shared connection and history with cricket. We are committed to listening and learning about how we as people, an organisation and community advocate for equitable outcomes and positive futures with all First Nations peoples.
