Pass back, move forward: Traditional custodians honoured
« on: July 27, 2020, 03:57:05 PM »
The NRL’s 2020 Indigenous Round will adopt the theme "Pass Back. Move Forward." to highlight the importance of understanding and appreciating Indigenous history and culture in order to build a better future.

The focus of Round 12 will be encouraging fans to learn about the traditional custodians of the land where they live, and in support of this, all stadiums hosting Indigenous Round matches will include an acknowledgement to local First Nations people as part of their stadium name.

In addition, the draw on NRL.com will acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land where each club and venue is based.

Australian Rugby League Commission chairman Peter V’landys AM said the concept of the "Pass Back. Move Forward." campaign was an important reminder to all Australians of the need to understand history, in order to move to a more positive future.
