The six-week long festival of events and activities, started on May 26 and concludes on July 8 and includes art, music and storytelling, celebrating the Burramattagal clan of the Dharug Nation and their connection to land and community. This year’s program started with National Sorry Day at Parramatta’s Old Government House on May 26, a day of acknowledgement, reflection and healing honouring the Stolen Generations. City of Parramatta Lord Mayor Cr Sameer Pandey said Warami is crucial to creating a stronger understanding of local Indigenous traditions and stories. “The Burramattagal people have called Parramatta home for tens of thousands of years, and Warami recognises and celebrates this powerful connection,” Cr Pandey said.
