Indigenous Acknowledgement

WestPride Archives recognises the diverse Aboriginal communities who are custodians over the lands upon which we live. We appreciate the histories and identities of Aboriginal LGBTIQA+ people that existed prior to colonisation and acknowledge the impact this ongoing process has had on Indigenous/Queer communities across the continent. We celebrate the peoples and communities who extend our stories back into the deep histories of this continent, and with whom we, with pride, share a common future, and acknowledge the inspiration and work of the original Gay and Lesbian Archives of Western Australia (GALAWA) established in 1998 and to whom WestPride Archives is the successor
