National Reconciliation Week: Welcome to Country

National Reconciliation Week: Welcome to Country

Please join us on Thursday 27 May at 11am via Webex for National Reconciliation Week – Welcome to Country.

National Reconciliation Week: 27 May – 3 June 2021

National Reconciliation Week is recognised nationally each year, commencing 27 May through to 3 June. These dates mark the anniversary of two significant historical milestones for the journey to Reconciliation; The 1967 Referendum, which occurred on the 27 May, 1967, and the High Court Mabo decision, which was handed down on 3 June, 1992.

National Reconciliation Week aims to build respectful and positive relationships between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and other Australians. The theme for National Reconciliation Week in 2021 is ‘More than a word. Reconciliation takes action’.

Agenda

A Welcome to Country is a traditional Aboriginal protocol, in which guests and neighbours are formally welcomed to Country, to pay respect to Aboriginal people and their connection to Country. The Welcome to Country will be performed by Wurundjeri Elder, Aunty Georgina Nicholson.
