NAIDOC Week

We’re celebrating NAIDOC Week and this year’s theme, For Our Elders, at Kiama and Gerringong libraries with exhibitions, activities and events for all ages.

For Our Elders

Across every generation, our Elders have played, and continue to play, an important role and hold a prominent place in our communities and families. They are cultural knowledge holders, trailblazers, nurturers, advocates, teachers, survivors, leaders, hard workers and our loved ones.

We draw strength from their knowledge and experience, in everything from land management, cultural knowledge to justice and human rights. Across multiple sectors like health, education, the arts, politics and everything in between, they have set the many courses we follow.

The struggles of our Elders help to move us forward today. The equality we continue to fight for is found in their fight. Their tenacity and strength has carried the survival of our First Nations people.

We pay respect and homage to our Elders past, present and emerging.
