Have you marked NAIDOC (National Aborigines and Islanders Day Observance Committee) Week this year?
NAIDOC Week celebrations are held across Australia each July to celebrate the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
2023 Theme:
'For our Elders'
"Across every generation, our Elders have played, and continue to play, an important role and hold a prominent place in our communities and families....
We pay our respects to the Elders we’ve lost and to those who continue fighting for us across all our Nations and we pay homage to them.
In 2023, how will you celebrate For Our Elders? "
NAIDOC Week is celebrated not only in Indigenous communities, but by Australians from all walks of life. The week is a great opportunity to participate in a range of activities and to support your local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community. We are invited to walk with the First Nation people in a movement of the Australian people for a better future.
Visit the NAIDOC website to found out more.
