Territory Acknowledgement
Hulitan Family and Community Services Society respects the connectedness between First Nations people and the land. It is with great humility that we carry out our work with Indigenous families on the traditional territories of the Lkwungen (Esquimalt and Songhees), Malahat, Scia’new, T’Sou-ke and W_SÁNEC (Pauquachin, Tsartlip, Tsawout, Tseycum) peoples. It is our intention to provide support for families with integrity and to practice in a way that honours the ancestors who came before us.
The HFCSS Mission
Hulitan preserves, unifies and advocates for Indigenous families by supporting healing and fostering resilience through culturally rooted programs, services and collaboration with community partners.
The HFCSS Vision
Hulitan empowers Indigenous families and future generations, walking alongside them and using the cultural principles of Respect, Honour, Connectedness, Humility and Integrity.
Hulitan, pronounced "Hull-ee-ton", is a Coast Salish word.
It's from the Cowichan dialect, meaning "saver of life, life giver ". It takes a community to raise a child, and urban areas are comprised of many Nations. Thus, we value the traditional teachings of all Indigenous people.
