Rural FASD Support Network of Eastern Ontario
Land Acknowledgement
The Rural FASD Support Network of Eastern Ontario acknowledges that the land on which we live, work, and gather is the traditional and unceded territory of the Algonquin Anishinaabe Nation, as well as the lands stewarded by the Haudenosaunee and other Indigenous Peoples who have cared for these territories since time immemorial.
We honour and respect the enduring presence, cultures, and contributions of all First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples across what is now Eastern Ontario.
We also recognize that Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) affects Indigenous communities—an impact deeply rooted in the ongoing legacy of colonialism, systemic racism, and intergenerational trauma. The effects of residential schools, forced displacement, and inequitable access to health care and social supports continue to affect the well-being of Indigenous families and communities.
As we advocate for those with FASD and their caregivers, we are committed to listening, learning, and working in meaningful partnership with Indigenous Peoples. We strive to support healing, reconciliation, and equitable access to culturally appropriate care and support for all individuals affected by FASD.
We are grateful to do this work on these lands and acknowledge our responsibility to walk forward together in truth and respect.
