#Shepparton’s second #SurvivalDay #DawnCeremony was held this morning at 6am on 26 January in #KaielthebanPark in #Mooroopna. It was attended by about 77 people of both nationalities. Other survival day vigils and dawn ceremonies were held across the nation, encouraging reflections and conversations about how we mark January 26 each year. The #EthnicCouncil of Shepparton and District supports #Reconciliation, #Treaty, the #Makarrata – the Statement from the Heart and all efforts to understand and #integrate with the all #indigenous peoples of the #GoulburnValley and beyond.
This day for many is no different than #AnzacDay. #Lestweforget. We should have #oneminutesilence for the deeds done by #Colinations for many years. Can we please make another date (Public Holiday) for all #Australians to get together united as one. Then #segregated. My suggestion would be May 8th. That's when everyone living in Australia can be great #Mates. While still holding onto #Australiaday but changing its name to Survival Day for many lives that were lost. #Convicts and #Aboriginalpeople..
