NAIDOC Week
NAIDOC Week 2025 - 6 to 13 July
National Aboriginal and Islanders Day Observance Committee (NAIDOC) Week is a celebration of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and an opportunity to recognise the contributions of Indigenous Australians in various fields. Its origins can be traced to the emergence of Aboriginal groups in the 1920s which sought to increase awareness in the wider community of the status and treatment of Indigenous Australians. All Australians are encouraged to participate in NAIDOC Week activities.
The theme for NAIDOC Week 2024 is The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy.
Uncle Frank Wangutya Wanganeen honoured for a lifetime of service.
The City of Adelaide has awarded Uncle Frank Wangutya Wanganeen the 2024 Lord Mayor’s NAIDOC Award in Aboriginal Achievement by Lord Mayor Jane Lomax-Smith in the Adelaide Town Hall at the annual South Australian NAIDOC Awards ceremony.
