Wiradyuri nation-building event at CSU in Bathurst
1 MAY 2015
The television studio at Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Bathurst will be used for a Wiradyuri nation-building event on Saturday 2 May. The Wiradyuri-gu Yindyamarra (Respect for Wiradyuri) is a taped discussion with Elders, invited speakers, and relocated Wiradyuri people from 10.30am to12.30pm. CSU alumnus Ms Suzanne Ingram (communication, 1996) will emcee the event. "This is a very special event to be held in a very special place, Bathurst," Ms Ingram said. "The opportunity for our people to connect on country with Wiradyuri from all over to celebrate and discuss our future, our way, to bring young people and Elders together with everyone in between - it's fantastic." Discussion will encompass the recently announced co-naming of Mount Panorama as Wahluu by the Geographical Names Board. This event stems from the First Nations (Native American) initiative in Arizona USA, and is understood to be the first of this kind globally. Wiradyuri-gu Yindyamarra is presented by the Bathurst Wiradyuri and Aboriginal Community Elders in conjunction with the Black Theatre Company. Find out more here. The event is in The Studio (room 117, building 1399), Charles Sturt University, Panorama Ave, Bathurst. CSU staff and students are providing technical assistance.
