NAIDOC Week ‌

Due to Covid-19, NAIDOC Week has been moved to 8-15 November this year, in term 4 (warmer weather-yay!). ‌The theme is 'Always Was, Always Will Be'. This years poster is called 'Shape of Land' by Noongar and Saibai Islander man Tyrown Waigana. Tyrown’s artwork tells the story of how the Rainbow Serpent came out of the Dreamtime to create this land. It is represented by the snake and it forms the shape of Australia, which symbolises how it created our lands. The colour from the Rainbow Serpent is reflected on to the figure to display our connection to the Rainbow Serpent, thus our connection to country. The overlapping colours on the outside is the Dreamtime. The figure inside the shape of Australia is a representation of Indigenous Australians showing that this country - since the dawn of time - Always Was, Always Will Be Aboriginal Land.

Nukkun (see ya),
