Yesterday, I once again attended Bunjil's Marroun Healing Ceremony hosted by Moonee Valley City Council.
It was an excellent opportunity to connect with our Aboriginal Aunties & Uncles and hear first hand from our Indigenous people, what January 26 means to them.
Everyone, including the non-Indigenous community, was invited to actively participate in the ceremony, rather than passively watching one. We all burned gum leaves during the smoking ceremony, cleansed ourselves with smoke, and lastly, learned the appropriate dance before performing it.
The ceremony and event was (and always is), a truly inclusive experience and incredibly important in connecting our community with our Country and Aboriginal people.
It is my sincere hope that next year, Brimbank City Council hosts a similar event, so that the Brimbank community can participate locally, rather than have to visit a neighbouring municipality.
