Australia Day

The barbies are fired up from morning, triple j's Hottest 100 is blaring from every speaker, and someone's already burnt the snags. Citizenship ceremonies happen in town halls across the country while backyard cricket games rage on until the mozzies come out. For many First Nations people, this is not a day to celebrate and the conversation about what this day means is the most honest conversation the country is having.

Survival Day

The same date. A different meaning. First Nations communities mark January 26 as a day of mourning, reflection, and resilience. The rallies are quiet, powerful, and growing. The word "invasion" is used because it is accurate. The word "survival" is used because it is true.
