This month on 7-14 July we celebrate NAIDOC Week and this year’s theme is ‘Keep the Fire Burning! Blak, Loud & Proud’. According to the National NAIDOC Committee, the theme “honours the enduring strength and vitality of First Nations culture – with fire a symbol of connection to Country, to each other, and to the rich tapestry of traditions that define Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples”.
