We were honoured to host a Welcome to Country and smoking ceremony for students on the ANU College of Law lawns on 24 March 2021 led by Aunty Matilda House-Williams, a Ngambri, Ngunnawal and Wiradjuri elder, and Professor Asmi Wood, 2020 ANU Indigenous Alumnus of the Year and a scholar of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Law. This inaugural event was a valuable opportunity for students to learn more about the traditional Ngunnawal-Ngambri custodians, customs and Country, as well as to meet fellow students and lecturers. Associate Professor Anthony Hopkins also presented a copy of his semi-biographical book, 'Belonging: A Novel', to each student in attendance.
