The text captioned a series of photos depicting Waititi and Thor star Chris Hemsworth at the ceremony. Hemsworth also posted the photos alongside an appeal to change the date of Australia Day, which was observed on Tuesday, because it celebrates what indigenous Australians perceive as racist colonial acts against them. ”Indigenous Australians may be just as proud of this country, but many see January 26th as a date signifying the beginning of dispossession, disease epidemics, frontier violence, destruction of culture, exploitation, abuse, separation of families and subjection to policies of extreme social control,” Hemsworth wrote. “Let’s begin the healing and stand together in unity and support with our First Nations people with solidarity and compassion. Let’s find a date where all Australians can celebrate this beautiful country together."
