NAIDOC Week is a chance to celebrate the richness of Indigenous history, culture and achievements, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Social Justice Commissioner Mick Gooda, said on the eve of NAIDOC Week.
Commissioner Gooda said NAIDOC Week's theme of Unsung Heroes - Closing the Gap by Leading the Way, provided an opportunity to honour the many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people - both past and present - who have played a critical role in helping Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to chart their own course.
