NAIDOC Week celebrations are held across Australia each July to celebrate the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. NAIDOC is celebrated not only in Indigenous communities, but by Australians from all walks of life. The week is a great opportunity to participate in a range of activities and to support your local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community.
This year it was hard to resist entering the NAIDOC Poster competition due to the significant theme “Because of her We Can. Whilst I didn’t win the competition it was not about winning it was to pay tribute to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Women that have played a significant role in our history and that continue to inspire and empower each generation both past & present. They are the pillars of our Families, Communities and Society. They have paved the way for future generations to continue their legacy, progress and move forward.
It is Because of Them We Can!
