Joshua Dumas and Auntie Ada Jarrett during the Walk for Reconciliation, 2000

On 28 May 2000, about 250,000 people walked across the Sydney Harbour Bridge to show their support for reconciliation between Australia’s Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples. Soon after, similar events took place in other cities and towns around Australia. Together, these events were the biggest demonstration of public support for a cause that has ever taken place in Australia.
