The aboriginal custodians of the Cradle Mountain and Lake Dove area of the park are the Weebonenetiner people who were part of the traditional lands of the North tribe. It's thought that Aboriginal people did not live in this challenging alpine environment permanently, but travelled to the area's fertile, sub-alpine valleys during summer on seasonal hunting trips.

We acknowledge the Weebonenetiner people as the Traditional Custodians of this land in which our concept is born.
