Walking Together: How to Support Reconciliation Week with Muru Mittigar

National Reconciliation Week (27 May – 3 June) is a time for all Australians to reflect on our shared history, learn about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, and take meaningful steps towards a more just and equitable future.

This year’s theme, [Insert Current Theme, e.g. “Now More Than Ever”], is a powerful reminder that reconciliation isn’t just about acknowledgment — it’s about action. It calls on individuals, schools, workplaces, and communities to stay committed, speak up, and show up for truth-telling, justice, and healing.

What is Reconciliation Week?

Reconciliation Week marks two important milestones in Australian history:

27 May 1967 – The date of the successful referendum that recognised Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in the census.
3 June 1992 – The anniversary of the High Court’s Mabo decision, which legally recognised that Indigenous peoples have a special relationship to the land that existed prior to colonisation.

These moments are not just historical events; they are milestones that guide the ongoing journey of reconciliation in Australia.
