Make time for the Hawkesbury Regional Museum’s important group challenge, Bangadyi Nawi, on Saturday, 18 November 2023 at the Museum.

Bangadyi Nawi & Museum Opening of Canoe Exhibit is encouraged to participate within the collaborative event by the Museum, the Dharug Community, and the Brewongle Environmental Education Centre.

The Welcome to Country ceremony will be led by Erin Wilkins, adopted by an Official Opening by Hawkesbury Councilor and Deputy Mayor Barry Calvert at 11:30 AM.

“The project has offered a transformative experience for local Aboriginal high school students who created a traditional canoe throughout an inter-generational camp, led by Elder Uncle Dean Kelly and with Uncle David Payne and Dharug Educator Erin Wilkins,” the announcement indicated.

“As a new exhibit, the canoe will shape studying opportunities for the whole group.”

The Saturday occasion is freed from charge and could be booked on-line via Eventbrite: Celebration of Bangadyi Nawi and Opening of Canoe Exhibit. Light refreshments might be supplied.

The Museum was additionally nominated just lately on the IMAGinE Awards 2023 by the Museums & Galleries of NSW for its engagement program referred to as “Bangadyi Nawi Making Making a Canoe.”

The Hawkesbury Regional Museum is located at 8 Baker Street in Windsor.
