Workshop - Tuesday 28 May 2-4pm.Unley Library, Oxford Terrace, Unley.
Be part of
Reconciliation Week and learn traditional weaving from Aunties from the
Southern Elders Weaving Group. This is a free, hands-on, fun, walk-in, weaving
and yarning session. You get to take home what you make on the day along with a
new traditional skill!
Reconciliation Week Major Event - Wednesday 29 May
10am- 10.45am. Unley Town Hall, Oxford Terrace, Unley.
This free event is for all ages,
introduced by the Mayor and will be a mixture of traditional greetings, their
cultural significance and fun education with Katrina
Ngaityalya Power and her family. We have also asked schools attending to
prepare presentations on the theme of Reconciliation.
All
welcome to attend. This year continues to build upon the work we have done
in recent years.We have
been actively involved with Reconciliation Week since 2007 and have held many
similar events over the years attracting over 150 people each time.
National Sorry Day acknowledges
and raises awareness of the history and continued effect of the forced removal
of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people from their families,
communities and culture.
Flying the Indigenous Flags on
National Sorry Day and throughout National Reconciliation Week recognises the
significance of these events for all Australians and is a sign of respect for
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and culture.
We currently fly both the flags
permanently on our poles on Unley Road ( one of the few Councils to do so) and
have them on display at the back of the Council Chambers.
