NAIDOC Week
Join us at the WA Museum Boola Bardip as we celebrate NAIDOC Week 2024 and this year's theme of Keep the Fire Burning! Blak, Loud and Proud.
The 2024 theme encapsulates the unyielding spirit of our communities and invites all to listen, learn, and engage in truth-telling and meaningful dialogue. Through amplifying the voices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples we can forge a future where the stories and traditions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities are cherished and celebrated, enriching the fabric of the nation with the oldest living culture in the world.
