The Council for Aboriginal Reconciliation (CAR) was established in 1991 by the federal government to promote reconciliation over a 10-year period. \nIn 1996\, the first National Reconciliation Week (NRW) was introduced by the Council for Aboriginal Reconciliation. The week runs annually from May 27 to June 3\, marking the 1967 Referendum and Mabo Day. \nOn February 13\, 2008\, then-Prime Minister Kevin Rudd delivered a historic apology to the Stolen Generations\, acknowledging the harm caused by past government policies that forcibly removed Indigenous children from their families. \nIn 2017\, the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) Government announced that it would introduce Reconciliation Day as a public holiday\, making it the first and only Australian state or territory to officially recognize it as a public holiday. \nThe first Reconciliation Day was celebrated on May 28\, 2018. \n \nWhat Do People Do on This Day?\nThe ACT Government and local organizations host public events to commemorate the day. These events often include storytelling sessions and cultural performances \nMany people take the day as an opportunity to educate themselves on the history and struggles of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. \nSchools and community groups organize discussion panels and workshops to encourage open conversations about reconciliation and Indigenous rights. \nMany galleries display Indigenous artworks\, telling stories through painting\, sculpture\, and textiles. \nMany Australians take a moment to reflect on what reconciliation means in their own lives and how they can contribute to a more inclusive and respectful society. \nMore about ACT Indigenous People\nThe Australian Capital Territory (ACT) is traditionally the land of the Ngunnawal people\, who have inhabited the region for over 20\,000 years. The ACT Government acknowledges the Ngunnawal as the traditional custodians and also recognizes that other groups\, such as the Ngambri and Ngarigo peoples\, have historical connections to the area. \nAs of the 2021 Census\, approximately 9\,000 individuals in the ACT identified as Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander\, representing 2.0% of the territory's population. ​ \nNgunnawal people followed a seasonal lifestyle\, moving across the land for food\, ceremonies\, and trade. \nThe arrival of European settlers in the 1820s disrupted Indigenous ways of life. Many Ngunnawal people were displaced\, and traditional lands were used for farming and urban development. \nThe ACT Government acknowledges Ngunnawal people as Traditional Custodians and incorporates Welcome to Country and Acknowledgement of Country in official events. \nIndigenous voices play a key role in land management\, policy-making\, and reconciliation efforts.

On June 1\, 1829\, Admiral Sir James Stirling arrived with the first settlers aboard the Parmelia\, establishing the Swan River Colony (modern-day Perth and Fremantle). This marked the beginning of European settlement in WA\, separate from the penal colonies in New South Wales and Tasmania. \nFoundation Day was first celebrated in 1832 to commemorate the British arrival and the beginning of colonial governance. Over time\, it became an annual public holiday on the first Monday in June\, marked by community events\, parades\, and official ceremonies. \nHowever\, it primarily focused on British settlement\, overlooking the long history and contributions of Aboriginal Australians. \nIn 2012\, the holiday was officially renamed Western Australia Day to recognize the contributions of all people in WA's history (including Indigenous Australians\, migrants\, and later settlers)\, and to promote unity rather than just colonial achievements. \nThe change was widely welcomed as a step toward reconciliation with Aboriginal communities. \nNow\, the holiday is a celebration of WA's diverse culture and achievements. Events focus on unity\, multiculturalism\, and Indigenous heritage\, rather than only colonial settlement. \n \nWhat Do People Do on This Day?\nPerth and Fremantle host major free public events with live music\, food stalls\, fireworks\, and cultural performances. Other regional areas such as Albany\, Bunbury\, and Geraldton hold parades\, concerts\, and local festivals. \nWestern Australia Day now emphasizes Indigenous heritage and Noongar culture. Events include traditional music\, dance performances\, storytelling\, and art exhibitions showcasing Aboriginal contributions to WA's history. \nA special AFL (Australian Rules Football) match between West Coast Eagles and Fremantle Dockers is a highlight of the long weekend. The match\, known as the WA Day Derby\, attracts thousands of fans. \nMany people take advantage of the long weekend for beach trips\, camping\, or barbecues in parks. \nSchools and libraries run educational programs on early settlement and Indigenous history. \nMore about Western Australia?\nWestern Australia (WA) is the largest state in Australia\, covering about 2.6 million square kilometers (1 million square miles)\, making up nearly one-third of the country. \nThe capital is Perth\, which is one of the most isolated major cities in the world. Western Australia is the largest of Australia's states\, covering almost the same landmass as Western Europe. \nAboriginal Australians have lived in WA for at least 50\,000 years. The Noongar people are the traditional custodians of the southwest region\, including Perth. \nDutch explorers first sighted WA in the 1600s\, but British colonization began in 1829 with the Swan River Colony. Towns like Kalgoorlie and Coolgardie boomed due to gold discoveries in 1890s.\nWestern Australia joined the Commonwealth of Australia in 1901\, despite initial reluctance. \nWestern Australia is a world leader in iron ore\, gold\, lithium\, and natural gas exports.

The eastern region of Virginia\, dominated by large plantations and reliant on slavery\, contrasted sharply with the western counties\, which had smaller farms\, mountainous terrain\, and less dependence on slavery. Western Virginians often felt underrepresented and ignored by the eastern elites in the state government. \nIn April 1861\, Virginia voted to secede from the Union and join the Confederate States. Many people in the western counties opposed this decision\, remaining loyal to the Union. This opposition set the stage for the creation of a new state. \nDelegates from the western counties met at the Wheeling Conventions in May and June 1861 to discuss their future\, and declared the secession of Virginia invalid and formed the Restored Government of Virginia\, which remained loyal to the Union. This government\, recognized by President Abraham Lincoln\, laid the groundwork for the creation of West Virginia. \nIn 1862\, a statehood proposal for West Virginia was sent to Congress\, which approved the creation of the new state. President Lincoln signed the West Virginia Statehood Bill into law on December 31\, 1862\, contingent upon the state's agreement to include a gradual emancipation clause in its constitution. West Virginia adopted its state constitution with the required emancipation provision\, and on June 20\, 1863\, West Virginia officially became a state. \nThe first formal observance of West Virginia's statehood took place in 1927\, following a proclamation by Governor Howard Gore. In 1929\, West Virginia Day was established as a legal state holiday\, ensuring its annual celebration on June 20th. \nWhat Do People Do on This Day?\nOn West Virginia Day\, celebrated annually on June 20th\, people across the state honor West Virginia's unique history\, culture\, and statehood with various activities and events. \nMany towns host parades featuring local organizations\, marching bands\, and floats celebrating the history and culture of West Virginia. Participants often wear traditional Appalachian clothing or carry state flags. \nCommunities organize festivals showcasing Appalachian music\, arts and crafts\, and traditional West Virginian cuisine. In the evening\, fireworks displays light up the sky in many cities and towns to mark the festive occasion. \nMuseums and historical sites\, such as the West Virginia Independence Hall in Wheeling\, often hold special exhibits\, guided tours\, and lectures. State and national flags are prominently displayed in homes\, businesses\, and public spaces. \nMany families spend the day enjoying West Virginia's natural beauty by visiting state parks\, hiking trails\, and outdoor recreational areas.

It remains the only public holiday enshrined in the Constitution itself.
