Held on National Sorry Day, Sunday May 26 2024, the Blackwood Reconciliation Walk is an important community event uniting and connecting Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians in commemorating the Stolen Generations, and marking the start of National Reconciliation Week which runs from 27 May to 3 June. A full outline of the program, as well as details of the walk location and map is listed below. National Sorry Day is held to acknowledge the strength of Stolen Generations survivors and reflect on how all Australians can all assist in healing. The walk provides an opportunity for healing following the National Voice referendum, it will honour and amplify the voices of many former residents of the Colebrook Training Home for Aboriginal Children and celebrate future opportunities for Reconciliation including the establishment of the inaugural SA First Nations Voice to Parliament. The Walk honours the theme of National Reconciliation Week: ‘Now More than ever’ as a reminder to all of us that no matter what, the fight for justice and the rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people will —and must —continue.

Celebrate National Reconciliation Week with this engaging presentation at the South Australian Museum, where we delve into the core of the 2024 National Reconciliation Week theme, "Now more than Ever", through a thought-provoking panel discussion.

Join us as we pay homage to South Australia’s rich history of Aboriginal activism, guided by speakers Jacinta Koolmatrie, Haydyn Bromley and Jade Turner. These voices of inspiration will illuminate some of the past, present, and future reconciliation efforts in our state.

The panel, moderated by Cliffy Wilson from Kuma Kaaru, features:

Jacinta Koolmatrie, Research and Project Officer, Department for Education, South Australia

Haydyn Bromley, Executive Director, Bookabee Australia PL

Jade Turner, Tarnanthi Art Fair Coordinator
