Kominote nwa a:

Sa 26 Janvye vle di pou kominote Nwa a

• 26 Janvye 1788 make arive First Fleet la nan Sydney Cove, ki te kòmansman kolonizasyon Britanik nan Ostrali.
• Pou anpil pèp Aborijèn ak Torres Strait Islander, dat sa a reprezante envazyon, pèdi tè, ak kòmansman vyolans — se pa yon selebrasyon.
• Se poutèt sa anpil moun rele jou sa a Jou Envazyon (Invasion Day) oswa Jou Siviv (Survival Day), olye de Australia Day.

Momant istorik enpòtan

• 1938 – Jou Lapenn (Day of Mourning): Lidè Aborijèn yo te òganize yon pwotestasyon 26 Janvye pou make 150 ane kolonizasyon, pou montre pèt tè, kilti, ak dwa yo.
• Pwotestasyon kontinyèl: Chak ane, 26 Janvye, pèp Endijèn yo ak alye yo mache pou mande:
• Rekonesans enjistis istorik
• Chanjman dat Australia Day
• Respè pou souverènte ak dwa pèp Endijèn yo

Kijan kominote Nwa a obsève jou a

• Pwotestasyon ak mach
• Evènman kiltirèl pou selebre siviv, rezistans, ak koneksyon ak tè a
• Omaj pou zansèt ki te soufri anba kolonizasyon

An rezime: Pandan 26 Janvye selebre ofisyèlman kòm Australia Day, pou anpil nan kominote Nwa a, se yon jou lapenn, pwotestasyon, ak siviv — pa selebrasyon.

Caption pou rezo sosyal (Kreyòl Ayisyen)

Opsyon 1 – Edikatif:
26 Janvye make kòmansman kolonizasyon Ostrali. Pou kominote Nwa a, se yon jou lapenn, rezistans, ak siviv.


Opsyon 2 – Angaje / Aktivis:
26 Janvye se pa yon selebrasyon pou kominote Nwa a. Li make envazyon, pèt, ak rezistans ki toujou ap kontinye.
Tè sa a te toujou, epi ap toujou, tè Aborijèn.

Opsyon 3 – Refleksyon:
Pandan Ostrali ap selebre, kominote Nwa a ap sonje.
26 Janvye se envazyon, rezistans, ak siviv.

Opsyon 4 – Senp & pwisan:
Pou kominote Nwa a, 26 Janvye se Jou Envazyon — siviv, pa selebrasyon.

What 26 January means to the Black community
• 26 January 1788 marks the arrival of the First Fleet at Sydney Cove and the beginning of British colonisation.
• For many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, this date represents invasion, dispossession, and the start of violence, not a celebration.
• Because of this, the day is often called Invasion Day or Survival Day, rather than Australia Day.

Key historical moments
• 1938 – Day of Mourning: Aboriginal leaders organised a protest on 26 January to mark 150 years of colonisation, highlighting loss of land, culture, and rights.
• Ongoing protests: Every year on 26 January, many Indigenous people and allies march to call for:
• Recognition of historical injustices
• Changing the date of Australia Day
• Respect for Indigenous sovereignty and rights

How the day is observed in the Black community
• Protests and marches
• Cultural events celebrating survival, resilience, and continued connection to land
• Memorials for ancestors affected by colonisation

In short, while 26 January is officially celebrated as Australia Day, for many in the Black community it is a day of mourning, protest, and survival, not celebration.

Option 1 (Clear & educational):
26 January marks the start of colonisation in Australia. For the Black community, it is a day of mourning, resistance, and survival.

Option 2 (Strong & activist):
26 January is not a celebration for the Black community. It marks invasion, loss, and ongoing resistance. Always was, always will be Aboriginal land.

Option 3 (Reflective):
While Australia celebrates, the Black community remembers. 26 January represents invasion, resilience, and survival.

Option 4 (Simple & powerful):
For the Black community, 26 January is Invasion Day — a reminder of survival, not celebration.
