SUMMARY:NAIDOC Week
DESCRIPTION:The theme of NAIDOC week this year is “Healing Country” \n\n\n\nCountry is inherent to our identity. It sustains our lives in every aspect – spiritually\, physically\, emotionally\, socially\, and culturally. It is more than a place. When we talk about Country it is spoken of like a person. Country is family\, kin\, law\, lore\, ceremony\, traditions\, and language. For Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples it has been this way since the dawn of time. .. Healing Country means hearing those pleas to provide greater management\, involvement\, and empowerment by Indigenous peoples over country. Healing Country means embracing First Nation’s cultural knowledge and understanding of Country as part of Australia’s national heritage. That the culture and values of Aboriginal peoples and Torres Strait Islanders are respected equally too and the cultures and values of all Australians. The right to protect Country and culture is fundamental. Destruction and desecration of our sacred lands or ancient sites – some of the oldest human occupation sites on the planet – is an enormous loss for both our nation and the world. …Healing Country means finally resolving many of the outstanding injustices which impact on the lives of our people. It must be a fair and equitable resolution. Fundamental grievances will not vanish. In the European settlement of Australia\, there were no treaties\, no formal settlements\, no compacts. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people therefore did not cede sovereignty to our land. It was taken from us. That will remain a continuing source of dispute. To Heal Country\, we must properly work towards redressing historical injustice. While we can’t change history\, through telling the truth about our nation’s past we certainly can change the way history is viewed. After 250 years\, our children and our future generations deserve better. NAIDOC National Committee\n\n\n\nThe NAIDOC 2021 theme\, Healing Country\, recognises that First Nations people have occupied and cared for this continent for over 65\,000 years. This is also a great time to get in touch with your local Aboriginal Catholic Ministry or to check out NATSICC TV to learn more about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander experiences\, perspectives and contributions to life of the Church here.
