Reconciliation Week is celebrated from May 27 to June 3.

It starts with Sorry Day on May 26.

This day is about remembering the Stolen Generations.

The week also marks the 1967 referendum when many Australians voted to include Indigenous people in the census.

During this week, communities hold events like art shows and school activities.

It's a time for everyone to learn about the history and culture of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

We talk about healing and truth-telling to make things better for all Australians.
