The theme for NAIDOC Week this year is “Heal Country”. Here is a snippet from the NAIDOC Week website sharing more about the significance of the theme.
“Heal Country, heal our nation"
Country is inherent to our identity. It sustains our lives in every aspect - spiritually, physically, emotionally, socially, and culturally. It is more than a place. When we talk about Country it is spoken of like a person.
Country is family, kin, law, lore, ceremony, traditions, and language. For Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples it has been this way since the dawn of time.”
Whilst most community events have been cancelled this year due to covid there are many online opportunities.
Many educators are using this week to plan and programme their NAIDOC experiences so we put together this PDF which includes a history of NAIDOC and our top tips.
