We’re all In this Together for 2020 National Reconciliation Week

Today marks the launch of National Reconciliation Week 2020 by coming together to acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the Land we are on.

We pay our respects to them and their cultures and to their elders both past and present.

Djabugay Aboriginal Corporations Director, Errol Hunter and TRACQS Indigenous Liason Officer Christopher Richardson hold wisdom and knowledge as recognised Djabugay Elders and were proud and happy to share their knowledge and Welcome to Country for TRACQS and Kuranda for National Reconciliation Week.

About National Reconciliation Week

National Reconciliation Week (NRW) is a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories, cultures, and achievements, and to explore how each of us can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia.

The dates for NRW remain the same each year; 27 May to 3 June. These dates commemorate two significant milestones in the reconciliation journey— the successful 1967 referendum, and the High Court Mabo decision respectively.

Reconciliation must live in the hearts, minds and actions of all Australians as we move forward, creating a nation strengthened by respectful relationships between the wider Australian community, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
