Mourning in the Morning - Smoking Ceremony
Adelaide
Free
Could a resurgence in First Nations languages help rewrite Australia’s national story? And are open hearts, minds, courage, and conviction all needed to underpin it?
South Australians are warmly invited to honour Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and their histories, cultures, and perspectives at the Australia Day Council of SA’s Mourning in the Morning event early on 26 January 2025.
Held in Elder Park/Tarntanya Wama on the banks of Adelaide’s River Torrens/Karrawirra Parri, this groundbreaking First Nations-led event is for both Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and non-Indigenous Australians.
Gather at 7.30am for a welcome to Kaurna country, followed by First Nations speakers, musicians, dancers, and interactive activities grounded in respect. The event will conclude at 8.45am with a smoking ceremony by revered Elder Uncle Moogy Sumner.
