ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF COUNTRY
Sturt Football Club is located in part of the traditional lands for the Kaurna people and we respect their spiritual relationship with their country. We acknowledge the Kaurna people as the traditional custodians of the Adelaide region and that their cultural and heritage beliefs are still as important to the living Kaurna people today.
