At the start of public meetings we say an Acknowledgement of Country. An Acknowledgement of Country means that we show our respect for all First Nations people. The Centre for Intellectual Disability made this guide together with people with intellectual disability and First Nations people.
The Plain English Acknowledgement of Country Guide is for people with intellectual disability, their colleagues and their supporters.
At the start of meetings we say an Acknowledgement of Country.
An Acknowledgement of Country means that we show our respect for all First Nations people.
When we talk about Aboriginals, we say First Nations people.
This means Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
You do not need to be a First Nations person to say an Acknowledgement of Country.
The Centre for Intellectual Disability made this guide together with people with intellectual disability and First Nations people.
We want to thank First Peoples Disability Network (FPDN) and South Australian Council on Intellectual Disability (SACID) who helped write the words.
