National NAIDOC Week
1 Jul, 2011
Title: National NAIDOC Week
Theme: We All Stand on Sacred Ground – Learn, Respect & Celebrate
Description: NAIDOC Week is observed from the first Sunday in July to the second Sunday in July each year.
NAIDOC celebrations are held around Australia to celebrate the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
The week is celebrated not just in the Indigenous community, but also increasingly in government agencies, schools, local councils and workplaces.
Wherever you live, taking part in NAIDOC Week is a great way to celebrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and to build bridges between all Australians.
NAIDOC originally stood for ‘National Aborigines and Islanders Day Observance Committee’. This committee was once responsible for organising national activities during NAIDOC Week, and its acronym has become the name of the week itself
