First Nations children and young people thrive when they can fully enjoy their right to family, community, culture, and Country. This year’s NAIDOC theme 'Keep the Fire Burning! Blak, Loud and Proud', honours the ongoing strength and power of First Nations people and culture being vocal and proud. ⭐ Out First Nations Children's Report showcases and celebrates stories of thriving First Nations children and young people, their families and communities. They are loud and proud, demonstrating their strength, resilience and positive outcomes that are possible when their rights are upheld. We will continue to celebrate First Nations sovereignty and strength by collecting and adding more stories to our report and website. 🔗First Nations Children's Report : https://lnkd.in/gBcFrsG7 This land is home to the oldest, continuing, surviving cultures on the planet. Respecting the knowledge, culture, stories, language and Elders of First Nations, will help us all move forward to a better future. #QFCC #NAIDOC #NAIDOC2024 #NAIDOCWeek #BlakLoudProud

💛 ❤️ 🖤 Keep the fire burning! Blak, Loud and Proud! We pay respect to the Traditional Owners of Tasmania, the Tasmanian Aboriginal people, and acknowledge their continued survival and connection with their land, sea and sky Country that spans millennia. We acknowledge the many Nations of Tasmanian Aboriginal people, past and present, as the traditional and ongoing owners of their respective countries within Tasmania and the islands. We pay respect to those who have passed and acknowledge today’s Aboriginal people who are the custodians of this land. We acknowledge that all land, sea, and sky Country holds cultural values that provide strong and continuing significance to the Tasmanian Aboriginal people. We acknowledge that Tasmanian Aboriginal people are part of a continuous culture that holds traditional knowledge about the ecosystems we all depend on. The landscapes of Tasmania have been shaped by Aboriginal management of plants, animals, and water (particularly using fire). We acknowledge that colonisation and migration has caused injustice for Aboriginal people and impacted the living cultural landscape. This has created a legacy that we seek to improve. We are working to integrate Aboriginal cultural heritage and knowledge in natural resource management, and to develop better understanding of the cultural, environmental, social and economic dimensions of the region’s natural resources from the perspective of Aboriginal people. Through our work, we aim to reflect these values by recognising that Tasmanian Aboriginal people determine both the boundaries for the sharing of their cultural heritage and opportunities for participation in NRM activities that embrace and support their aspirations. We pay respect to Tasmanian Aboriginal people’s requirements to own, care and manage Country by aligning our strategic priorities to Tasmanian Aboriginal people’s land, sea and sky Country priorities. #KeepTheFireBurning #BlakLoudandProud #NAIDOC #NAIDOC2024 #NAIDOCWEEK

ISA is committed to truth telling and acknowledging the injustices faced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. With the support of @ReconciliationAustralia, ISA established a Reconciliation Action Plan in 2023. This NAIDOC week, we are reflecting on the positive impact this plan has already had on our practices and considering how to apply these learnings to our work in the education sector more broadly. This artwork, Seizing Opportunities by Sarah Richards, captures ISA’s links to our AIS members, schools and broader communities, as well as our recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ connection to their Country, history, language and culture. #reconciliation #NAIDOC2024

As Australia celebrates NAIDOC week this week, it is worth appreciating the rich history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, and also an opportunity to learn about one of the oldest continuous living cultures on Earth 🌍. 💎 New Governance Requirements for Indigenous Data: Recently, Australian Public Service agencies adopted the Framework for Governance of Indigenous Data. Co-designed with Indigenous partners, this framework ensures better access to government-held Indigenous data for First Nations Australians. It emphasizes collaboration, capability-building, and an inclusive data system. 💎 These governance requirements aim to contribute directly to ‘closing the gap’ by enhancing data accessibility, quality management and ethical use of indigenous data, and promoting inclusivity via ensured respectful collaboration and decision making for uplifting these communities. Let’s honor NAIDOC Week by championing Indigenous cultures, supporting data sovereignty, and working together to close the gap. 🙌🏽 #NAIDOCWeek #IndigenousData #ClosingTheGap

By engaging in NAIDOC Week activities like cultural events and initiatives showcasing Indigenous art, BG&E honours First Nations people's heritage and fosters greater cultural understanding within our workplace and the broader community. This commitment lays a robust foundation for future RAPs and reconciliation efforts, playing a pivotal role in advancing Australia's reconciliation journey.
