NAIDOC Week in Australia

 

During NAIDOC  Week 7 – 14 July, all Australians are encouraged to  acknowledge and more deeply understand the unique and rich histories, cultures and contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

We are invited to reflect on the enduring strength of Indigenous cultures, passed down through generations, despite the challenges faced.

We are called to open our hearts to the wisdom and spirituality of First Nations Peoples.

May NAIDOC Week 2024  be a time of grace, healing, and transformation.

… Love of nature can only be authentic in solidarity with indigenous peoples who do not distinguish themselves from the plants, animals, rivers and mountains which inspire their languages practices, and spirit. So loving one must include the other.”
