[Edited extract from public address]
A powerful milestone celebrating five decades of Indigenous voices, culture, strength and leadership.
This year’s theme honours the Elders, communities, artists and advocates who have shaped the movement, while recognising the continued resilience, pride and self-determination of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
NAIDOC has always been more than a week. It is a time to reflect, celebrate culture and identity, and look ahead to the next generation growing up strong in culture and connection to Country.
Our libraries proudly support NAIDOC Week and invite our community to take part through our events, curated reading lists and by amplifying First Nations stories, voices and knowledge.
