Coorabell Hall is hosting a special Indigenous cultural event on Saturday, November 23 at Coorabell Hall from 2pm.
Hall secretary, Adele Smout, says that Many Rivers – Bundjalung Culture and History – Understanding and Remembrance will feature Bundjalung author and historian, Dr Shauna Bostock.
‘[She is] winner of the 2024 NSW Premier’s Community and Regional History prize, with her book Reaching Through Time. Historical photos that form part of the event will be on display from 2pm, and Wahlubal Elder, Uncle Lewis Walker, will conduct a Welcome and Smoking ceremony at 5pm.
‘This will be followed by truth-telling for understanding and remembrance of First Nations people in the region.’
Entry is by donation.
