   Comments: IF it is the case that certain Elders are not actually of Darug decent then they should not be able to continue being Elders. But that does NOT mean Darugs are not the traditional owners of the land. Myself & my family are very proud to be of Darug decent & we know that our ancestors where from Blacktown/Prospect area.

   Comments: Regardless of the many Aboriginal people living in the Blacktown LGA, it remains Darug country. Always was, always will be. Blacktown Council should consider the views / opinions of all Aboriginal people living in the LGA, however this does not replace consultation with the Darug people first and foremost.

    Comments: I acknowledge the Traditional Owners, Custodians and Elders of the Darug Nation,past and present, on whose traditional land I live and work. I happen to work with direct descendants of the Darug people so how can they NOT exsist? Shame on Blacktown Council-fix your mistake!!!! My children and their father are Darug, & are proud of it!

    Comments: I'm horrified that this has happened without the Darug community being consulted first or being given the oppertunty to defend their Traditional Ownership status... do we now live in a country where a people are guilty untill proven inoccent???

    Comments: Given there has never been a treaty signed between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians; given the whole sorry histroy of white occupation of this country; this act by your council is one worthy of rank contempt.by all Australians hoping for an Australia that acknowledges it's history, as it moves to the future, rather than one that continually seeks to hide from it's past.

    Comments: After all the suffering Aboriginals have been through Blacktown City Council cannot even recognise the Darug as traditional owners. You are a total disgrace and should be thoroughly ashamed. It's time Aboriginals were not only recognised but the whole country must be handed back as well. Unless this is done we will remain an illegal squat forever.

    Comments: I work with a Darug man. He is very proud of his people and heritage. I feel that all organisations situated on Darug country should acknowledge the Darug people's traditional ownership of the land.

    Comments: Our ancestors Gombeerie and Yarramundi met with Governor Authur Phillip in 1791. This was documented by Watkin Tench. Our heritage is proven. We are alive and we are disgusted by the actions of Blacktown Council. Darug people are proud of their heritage and we are united in our condemnation of the suspension of the recognition of Darug people. We call for the immediate reversal of this decision!!

    Comments: This is yet another example of the atrocities carried out on our first peoples. It was not enough to seperate families, to move them to what was known as "the Black's Camp" to now no longer acknowledge them as the traditional owners of the land. Shame on you Blacktown City Council - you are "un-Australian".

    Comments: For many years Aboriginal people have fought to gain recognition that they are the traditional custodians of the land and to have the Blacktown council take this position show just how much further we have to go. Shame on you, the representatives of a otherwise caring community.

    Comments: This Decision should have been made with the people. The council have have acted in a disgraceful manner. If they feel it is appropriate to make a decision like that without consulting the people make me wander how fit they are to run the area.
