The Essendon Football Club stands united in our commitment to reconciliation and we embrace the rich history of our First Nations peoples, the world’s oldest continuous culture.

 We acknowledge that today is one of pain and sadness for many people.

The Club walks alongside our Traditional Custodians on the path to a united Australia and justice and equity for all.

 We value our strong connection with Indigenous Australia and we recognise the significant contribution that First Nations peoples have had on shaping our Club.   

 The Essendon Football Club looks forward to a time where all Australians can celebrate our nation on a day that brings everyone together.
