Reflection of Country: A Panel on Indigenous Australia

Reflection of Country 
Join us for an insightful and powerful panel discussion exploring the diverse perspectives, histories, and futures of Indigenous Australia. This is the perfect opportunity to hear from Indigenous leaders, scholars, activists, and community members as they share their knowledge and lived experiences.

Through critical conversations, the panel will address themes including sovereignty, self-determination, cultural resurgence, truth-telling, and the ongoing impacts of colonisation. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of First Nations worldviews, legal and political challenges, and the role of institutions like ANU in fostering meaningful change and reconciliation.

This event is open to students, staff, and the wider community. It will include time for audience Q&A and opportunities for continued engagement beyond the panel.

Date: 24th April 2025
Time: 6PM - 8PM
Venue: DNF Dunbar Lecture Theatre, Australian National University
Free Entry | All Welcome + Refreshments provided

The ANU BIPOC Department acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the lands across Country. We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the lands that we operate on and which we will be meeting on, the Ngunnawal and Ngambri peoples. We pay our respects to Elders past and present who shall forever be part of the lands, skies, and rivers of this place. We acknowledge that this land was stolen and sovereignty was never ceded. We welcome all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to our Collective and we commit to standing with our First Nations Peoples.
