Marla FoldenHostBefore we begin today's episode, we want to take a moment to acknowledge that this podcast is recorded in Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada, on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the Huncomenem and Squamish-speaking peoples, including the Musqueam and Tsleil-Waututh nations.
At the Down Syndrome Resource Foundation, we recognize the work we do to support individuals with Down syndrome takes place on land that has been cared for by Indigenous peoples for generations.
We honor their enduring connection to this land and acknowledge the impacts of colonialism that continue to affect Indigenous communities today.
As an organization rooted in inclusion and empowerment, we recognize our responsibility to not only acknowledge this history, but to actively learn from it.
We are committed to fostering respectful relationships with Indigenous peoples and integrating principles of reconciliation, equity and justice into all aspects of our work.
In advocating for the rights and potential of individuals with Down syndrome, we strive to build a more inclusive world, one that recognizes and respects all identities, histories, and cultures.
