#ForOurElders | Celebrating history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
https://www.naidoc.org.au/about/naidoc-week
We pay our respects to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders past and present, and extend that acknowledgement to all First Nations people for their ongoing connection to Country and culture. We honour the Stolen Generations and their families, those who were separated and never found their way home, those who are still healing and those who continue to endure the intergenerational impact.
National NAIDOC Week celebrations are held across Australia in the first week of July each year (Sunday to Sunday), to celebrate and recognise the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. NAIDOC Week is an opportunity for all Australians to learn about First Nations cultures and histories and participate in celebrations of the oldest, continuous living cultures on earth.
2023 Colouring Page Competition | For Our Elders, Bobbi Lockyer
“Where there is knowledge there are our Elders. Our Elders paved the pathways for us, taught us our knowledge, our history, they passed down their art, stories and wisdom. Our Elders are the foundation of our communities and role models for our children. With this poster I wanted to showcase how important our Elders are in passing down traditions and culture to our children and future.“
