Penrith Panthers Acknowledge Indigenous Heritage at Events
The Penrith Panthers, a prominent sports team, have taken active steps to honor and recognize the Indigenous heritage of Australia. At their recent events, players and staff were seen respecting and acknowledging the traditional custodians of the land where they meet, gather, and play.
It has become common practice for the team to commemorate the contributions and cultural history of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. They extend their respect to elders past, present, and future, emphasizing the importance of the stories, traditions, and living cultures that continue to shape the region.
During gatherings, the Panthers have included moments of reflection and acknowledgment of the land’s original custodians, an act that is becoming increasingly significant within Australian sports and community events.
This gesture aligns with broader efforts across various sectors in the country to respect and integrate Indigenous perspectives and histories into contemporary Australian life.
