This year's theme for National Reconciliation week is 'All In' - a call for all Australians to commit wholeheartedly to reconciliation, and to advancing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people's rights.
Community led events are being held across the country to mark National Reconciliation Week, which runs from May 27 to Jun 03.
National Reconciliation Week marks two major milestones in Australia’s reconciliation journey -- the 1967 referendum and the Mabo decision.
In 1967, almost 91 per cent of Australians voted to change the Constitution to allow Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to be counted as part of the population.
The Mabo decision in 1992 recognised the land rights of the Meriam people in the Torres Strait, overturning the idea that Australia was terra nullius -- or land belonging to no one -- at the time of colonisation.
This year's theme is 'All In' - a call for all Australians to commit wholeheartedly to reconciliation, and to advancing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people's rights.
