At the start of meetings we say an Acknowledgement of Country. This shows our respect for all First Nations people.

This guide says how to say an Acknowledgement of Country. The guide was made with people with intellectual disability and First Nations people.

The First Peoples Disability Network (FPDN) and South Australian Council on Intellectual Disability (SACID) helped write the words.

Rhys Paddick from Acknowledge This drew the images. Rhys is an Aboriginal Aussie from Noongar country.
