In Usap Tayo, the meaning and importance of National Reconciliation Week were discussed, along with how migrant communities, including Filipinos, can contribute.


Key Points

  • The annual event runs from May 27 to June 3 to commemorate the historic 1967 Referendum and the landmark 1992 Mabo Decision.
  • The 2026 theme "All In" urges every citizen to take everyday action rather than leaving the burden of reconciliation solely on Indigenous communities.
  • Migrants can contribute by educating themselves on First Nations history, supporting Indigenous businesses, and participating in local community events.
