This NAIDOC Week, Aunty Liz Thorpe is encouraging everybody to reflect on what can be done to heal. Photo: Sarah Luke THIS week is NAIDOC Week — an opportunity for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to come together, connect to culture and Country, and share with non-Indigenous Australians to help them to grow their cultural awareness, knowledge and skills respectfully. Until Sunday, NAIDOC celebrations will be held around the country, with this year’s theme — ‘Heal Country!’ — providing the basis for NAIDOC discussion. Aunty Liz Thorpe gave a Welcome to Country at a NAIDOC ceremony at the Port of Sale on Monday morning, which was followed by the raising of the Australian, Aboriginal, and Torres Strait Islander flags on Foster St, and a smoking ceremony.
