The Fingal Valley Neighbourhood House cherishes lutruwita (Tasmania) Aboriginal land, sea and waterways and acknowledges, with deep respect the traditional owners of these places. We acknowledge that it is a privilege to live on Country and walk in the footsteps of those before us.
Beneath the mountain, among the gums and waterways that continue to run through the veins of the Tasmanian Aboriginal community.
We pay respect to elders past and present and to the many Aboriginal people that did not make elder status and to the Tasmanian Aboriginal community that continue to care for Country.
As an organisation, we recognise a history of truth which acknowledges the impacts of invasion and colonisation upon Aboriginal people resulting in the forcible removal from their lands.
