What actually happened on January 26? - Yeŋö kënë ci rot loi Pentok aköl niin 26?

from SBS Dinka - SBS Dinka

January 26 is one of the most debated dates in Australia’s history. Often described as the nation’s birthday, the day marks neither the formal founding of the colony nor the creation of the Commonwealth. Instead, it reflects a layered history shaped by colonisation, political decisions, and ongoing First Nations resistance. Understanding what actually happened on January 26 reveals why the date is experienced so differently across the country. - Pentok aköl niin 26 aköltöŋ wën lëŋ teer apɛ̈idit anyiköl pan Australia.
