This Sunday (July 5th) marks the start of NAIDOC week. NAIDOC Week gatherings and activities are held across Australia in the first week of July each year (Sunday to Sunday), to recall and recognise the history, the culture, and the achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. NAIDOC Week is an opportunity for each and every Australian to learn about First Nations traditions and histories and participate in celebrating the oldest, continuous living culture on earth.
