NAIDOC Week in Mparntwe

💭 As NAIDOC Week draws to a close, it is a good time to reflect on this year’s theme Heal Country…

Country is more than a place.

Country is family, kin, law, lore, ceremony, traditions, and language.

Healing Country means embracing First Nation’s cultural knowledge and understanding of Country as part of Australia’s national heritage, and that the culture and values of Aboriginal peoples and Torres Strait Islanders are respected equally to the cultures and values of all Australians.

Healing country, is more than a facebook post or a ‘like’, it is a lifelong commitment to understanding.

🖤❤️💛
