Welcomes to country between Indigenous Australian communities have a history of thousands of years, but Dingo and Walley say theirs theirs was the first to be performed in the country for non-Indigenous Australians.

Back then, Dingo and Walley were part of the Middar Aboriginal theatre, with a show billed at Perth fringe festival. They were asked by a group of Polynesian performers – two Māori and two Cook Islanders – to give them a welcome to country, as their spiritual beliefs dictate. After consulting with his community’s elders, Walley was given permission to welcome the visiting performers.Dingo says before that occasion, “We couldn’t do it to white people because they wouldn’t understand, and there was too much negativity.”
