While the country is still self-isolating in various respects, musician Mitch Tambo says National Reconciliation Week (NRW) mustnt be forgotten, and its theme In This Together is more relevant than ever as we remain physically apart.

Starting on Wednesday May 27, NRW will mark 20 years since 250,000 Australians walked across the Sydney Harbour Bridge and bridges in other cities around the country, to bridge the gap between Indigenous Australians and non-Indigenous Australians.

As a First Nations artist, Mitch said traditional language and music help bridge the years of dispossession of land and culture.

I think when we look at the power of language and moving forward, its just incredible because it wasnt that long ago we couldnt speak our language or practise our culture, Mitch told HuffPost Australia.
