The significant events that have unfolded in May throughout Indigenous Australian history reflect both the enduring legacy of colonisation and the resilience of Indigenous cultures and communities. As we commemorate these milestones, it is essential to confront the injustices of the past, support ongoing efforts for reconciliation, and work towards a future where all Australians can live with dignity, respect, and equality.
