A Welcome to Country is a ceremony given by a local Aboriginal person of the country (usually an Elder) to acknowledge and give consent to events taking place on their traditional lands (Country). It is also a sign of respect and protocol, which dates back to traditional times prior to the arrival of Europeans to Australia.
