I think it would be a good idea to put something like "living on unceded <indigenous people's> land" into my bio.

The issue: I don't know which people were here.

Some sources say Kuringai, except the name "Kuringai" was basically just made up by some white guy, and it isn't a real collection of people.

Some sources say Darug, but then other sources indicate they lived a fair way South or West of here.

I know that D'harawal seasons cover this region (I'm learning to use their seasons, since they match much better than the European seasons), but once again they're south of here

A likely option is the Eora people, but the best source I have for that says that their lands were bounded at the Northern edge by the Kuringai people, which means either 1) I'm in Kuringai territory or 2) since the Kuringai people technically don't exist, this source isn't trustworthy.

I want to put *something* in my bio, but I don't want to claim to be on lands that I'm not on.
