It may be almost over but there are still events being held across the nation to celebrate the history, culture and achievements of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

As pillars of our society, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women have played, and continue to play, active and significant roles at the community, local, state and national levels.

Visit the NAIDOC website to found out more.This is the week Australians seek to increase awareness of the status and treatment of Indigenous Australians in the wider community.
