2024 Sorry Day Smoking Ceremony
Event description
🌿 You're Invited! 🌿
Join us for a meaningful commemoration of Sorry Day
Date: 27 May 2024 Time: 9:30am
Location: Building 211, Centre for Aboriginal Studies
Please join us for a Welcome to Country and Smoking Ceremony led by Aunty Vivienne Hansen at 9:30am, followed by a heartfelt morning tea.
Sorry Day holds significant importance as we remember the historical mistreatment of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, particularly the Stolen Generation who were forcibly removed from their families. This day also marks the anniversary of the tabling of The Bringing Them Home Report in 1997.
As we gather, our focus is on truth-telling and healing. Let us come together to honour the past, acknowledge the present, and pave the way for a more inclusive future.
We invite you to walk with us on this journey of reconciliation and understanding.
