To Kevin Hunt,

I am following up on a request you have made in regard to the Metropolitan LALC endorsing chants/ songs from the local Eora area. As custodians of this land, the Metropolitan LALC will endorse the Chants/songs from the management level. We encourage you to continually respect and follow Aboriginal protocol when using Aboriginal culture in any project and or performance. The Metropolitan LALC discourage the use of any part of Aboriginal culture for any commercial benefit. 546
