All In: Honouring 50 Years of Deadly in the Spirit of Reconciliation
On Thursday 11th June, SNHN gathered with community partners to celebrate All In: Honouring 50 Years of Deadly in the Spirit of Reconciliation – an event marking Reconciliation Week and NAIDOC for 2026.
Balancing the important need to reflect on the past with the equally important requirement to share joy and celebrate the successes of our First Nations communities, the afternoon was a powerful reminder of how much stronger we are when we come together with a shared purpose.
SNHN would like to warmly thank all the organisations, presenters, performers, volunteers, and community members who contributed their time, resources, expertise, and support to make the event such a success. Your generosity helped create a meaningful and memorable day that strengthened connections, celebrated culture, and honoured the spirit of reconciliation.
