Zan Maeder lives and works on Kaurna land. They acknowledge that sovereignty has never been ceded by the Kaurna nation or the many other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander nations in the country now known as Australia. Aboriginal cultural connections to Country have never ceased and continue to survive ongoing colonization. Zan pays deep respect to the Elders, Ancestors and emerging leaders who sustain Culture and community and whose legacy of resistance has made their work possible.
