Minister of State As NAIDOC Week draws to a close it is poignant to reflect on what we have learnt about Aboriginal culture, history and stories in order to recognise Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander heritage. NAIDOC is a nationally celebrated week, this year running from 4 to 11 July, dedicated to acknowledging, understanding and sharing the diverse culture of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander accomplishments, history, culture and people, as a part of Australia’s heritage. NSW Minister for Aboriginal Affairs Don Harwin said this week provides an important opportunity for communities to reconnect and engage with each other and country in a safe and meaningful way.
