FLASHBACK: South Burnett mayor Brett Otto, right, with Cherbourg mayor Elvie Sandow and Wakka Wakka Elder Eric Law AM in Murgon last year … reconciliation is “more than a word”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

May 26, 2021<\/strong><\/p>\n

South Burnett Regional Council has encouraged South Burnett residents to \u201ctake action\u201d this National Reconciliation Week (May 27-June 3).<\/p>\n

It suggests residents acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the country, buy goods and services from Indigenous-owned and operated businesses, listen to the stories of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and provide a platform for them to share their voice on the path to reconciliation.<\/p>\n

A statement released by Council on Wednesday, “National Sorry Day”, acknowledged traditional owners, the Wakka Wakka people, and the importance of learning about our shared histories, cultures and achievements to pave the way towards achieving reconciliation together in the South Burnett and wider Australia.<\/p>\n

National Reconciliation Week 2021 has adopted the theme \u201cMore than a word. Reconciliation takes action\u201d to encourage Australians to create more than a conversation; ie. generate meaningful action toward a united future together in reconciliation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mayor Brett Otto said Council had an important role in developing a unified region toward reconciliation through respectful relationships between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and non-Indigenous residents.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am particularly proud to support National Reconciliation Week. I see it as an opportunity to stand proud as Australians in acknowledging how privileged we are to live alongside the oldest surviving civilisation on the planet,” he said.<\/p>\n

“National Reconciliation Week has particular significance for our region with a large population of First Nations Peoples across the South Burnett, including our sister community of Cherbourg.<\/p>\n

\u201cReconciliation and recognition of our first Australians is critical to building a unified region, indeed a unified nation.<\/p>\n

“I call on all residents across our region to join the Acknowledgement of the Traditional Owners of our Country at 9:00am on Thursday (May 27) and share such on social media to show our commitment to reconciliation through their actions and in conjunction with this year\u2019s theme.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cAs Australian communities, we have much to do on the reconciliation journey.<\/p>\n

“By each of us playing our part we can build communities that value Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, their histories, cultures, and futures.”<\/p>\n

The dates for National Reconciliation Week remain the same each year: May 27 to June 3.<\/p>\n

These dates commemorate significant milestones in the reconciliation journey, including the 1967 referendum and the High Court Mabo decision.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
