NAIDOC Week is a long-standing tradition in the Indigenous communities of Australia. It dates back in different forms to the activism of the early 1900s. It is for and by Indigenous Australia.
This year's theme celebrates the unyielding spirit of Australia’s Indigenous communities and invites all to stand in solidarity, amplifying the voices that have long been silenced.
