It’s NAIDOC Week (2-9 July). This year’s theme is ‘For Our Elders’ . NAIDOC week has a long history in Australia, spanning over 100 years. It began as a protest by Aboriginal rights groups, before evolving into a public movement and week of action. In 1938, on ‘the Day of Mourning’, protestors marched in the streets of Sydney. This was one of the first major civil rights demonstrations in the world. We acknowledge the generations of advocacy and First Nations rights activism in the journey to Truth, Treaty and Voice. This year’s beautiful artwork was created by Bobbi Lockyer, a proud Ngarluma, Kariyarra, Nyulnyul and Yawuru woman 🖤 💛 ❤️
