In Australia, 27 May to 3 June marks National Reconciliation Week and 3 July to 10 July marks NAIDOC (National Aborigines and Islanders Day Observance Committee) Week. The history of dispossession and colonisation lies at the heart of a marked disparity between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and other Australians today. In observance of these significant dates in Australia, our staff have engaged in a number of initiatives to celebrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures. Our staff partnered with UOW’s Woolyungah Indigenous Centre to deliver a panel discussion on the Uluru Statement from the Heart. It is well worth watching this session if you are interested in learning more about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures in Australia and specifically, about the Uluru Statement from the Heart.
