Enjoy a range of activities this NAIDOC Week to celebrate and recognise the history, culture, and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
Join us in welcoming Yirra Yaakin Theatre Company as they bring Djinda Kaatijin to the WA Maritime Museum. This performance for young audiences explores the significance of the stars in Aboriginal knowledge systems and celebrates the night sky in Noongar culture, language and storytelling.
Get your hands busy with craft wool: winding, binding and creating with love as you transform natural sticks into gorgeous stick dolls with local Nyoongar artist Geri Hayden. Craft a friendship band in NAIDOC colours, make your own cute little yarn turtle, make and spin your Aboriginal flag thaumatrope, and challenge yourself with our Noongar language marine animals matching game.
