Learn online and share pride in Australia's Indigenous cultures
Developed to meet the huge, post-apology demand for information about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, their history and cultures, Reconciliation Australia has developed a ground-breaking, new resource for workplaces, schools and individual Australians.
Share Our Pride is a cultural awareness website which brings together facts and figures, answers to common questions and lots of inspiring stories to help build respectful relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. The site was developed with funding from the Westpac Foundation and Coles Group Community Fund and is now available free of charge to schools, public and private sector organisations and individuals wanting to understand more about the special place of Australia’s first peoples.
To find out more go to the Reconciliation Australia page of this site. To use the site, all you have to do is go to www.shareourpride.org.au and register your name, email address and organisation (if applicable) once only.

At Our Table
About At Our Table
In 2009, Queensland celebrates its 150th birthday. A number of projects and events are planned throughout the State and the State Library of Queensland is hosting one of these magnificent events - At Our Table.
At Our Table will host 10 special event gatherings throughout Queensland. Each event will bring together a particular community for a culinary delight – perhaps a banquet, a dinner, a campfire or a picnic.
At Our Table will
explore the cultural influences on the growing, making and sharing of food
showcase the remarkable stories behind the many recipes which have been passed down through the generations and between cultures. Recipes carry the traditions, history and culture of their cooks and can reveal the story of an individual, a family, a community, a culture and/or how people have adapted to new and ever changing surroundings. Recipes: introduce new experiences and taste sensations, reveal the way cultures evolve, reflect the place in which they are created, can act as windows through time.
The State Library is dedicated to ensuring that At Our Table is used to highlight the extensive variety of fresh produce and cuisines available throughout the State of Queensland.

International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples
The International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples is observed by the International community every year on 9 August.
The Day provides an opportunity to raise awareness of indigenous peoples' cultures and the great diversity that they represent. It is also an occasion to redouble efforts to address issues of exclusion, discrimination and poverty that are still the daily reality for many of these peoples.
