Today marks the start of NAIDOC Week.
This year the theme is ‘For Our Elders.’
Across every generation, Elders have played, and continue to play, an important role and hold a prominent place in our communities and families.
They are cultural knowledge holders, trailblazers, nurturers, advocates, teachers, survivors, leaders, hard workers and our loved ones.
Our loved ones who pick us up in our low moments and celebrate us in our high ones. Who cook us a feed to comfort us and pull us into line, when we need them too.
They guide generations and pave the way for us to take the paths we can take today.
We pay our respects to the Elders we’ve lost and to those who continue fighting across all our Nations and we pay homage to them.
In the spirit of NAIDOC Week, we encourage everyone to take a look at the ways to get involved below and encourage reconciliation.
