We acknowledge the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation as the Traditional Custodians of the land upon which BlakOut is made.

We pay respect to Elders, both past and present, and extend that respect to all First Nations Peoples.

We acknowledge that the land upon which we live, meet and research is stolen land, and that sovereignty was never ceded.

This is, was and always will be Aboriginal land.
