The dates celebrating Reconciliation Week in Australia remain the same every year, that's because two significant milestones occurred in the same week.
The first was on May 27, 1967, the date a referendum was held which saw more than 90 percent of Australians vote to give the federal government power to conduct programs for Indigenous people, and for them to be counted in the census.
While on June 3, 1992, the High Court Mabo decision overthrew the legal fiction of terra nullius, that is, land belonging to no-one, on which British claims to possession of Australia were based.
Along with remembering history, National Reconciliation Week also focuses on a different theme every year.
In 2019 it's truth-telling.
