Event Information
Lugar Brae Uniting Church pays our respects to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders past and present, and extend that acknowledgment to all First Nations people for their ongoing connection to Country and culture. We honour the Stolen Generations and their families, those who were separated and never found their way home, those who are still healing and those who continue to endure the intergenerational impact. (The National NAIDOC Committee)
“Keep the Fire Burning! Blak, Loud and Proud”.
The 2024 theme celebrates not only the survival but also the relentless spirit of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
“Keep the Fire Burning!” is a nod to the vitality and endurance of culture, and a nod to connection with Country and community, while
“Blak, Loud and Proud” represents an unapologetic celebration of identity.
NAIDOC was born from protest, with its roots tracing back to the 1938 Day of Mourning where Aboriginal men, women and children gathered at Sydney Hall to mourn the 150th anniversary of the First Fleet’s arrival.
Now, 86 years later, the NAIDOC theme is celebrating that legacy, so please join Lugar Brae in celebrating the relentless spirit and identity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
