Naidoc Week is kicking off down here in Australia!

NAIDOC week is a big celebration for Indigenous people and a highlight their culture.

While reconciliation week focuses on relations between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people, NAIDOC week is purely to celebrate our culture and achievements.

Join us for a virtual film screening to learn about this culture!

About the film:

In this country, the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander story is often buried deep beneath the colonial Australian historical narrative. It’s not that the Australian story is wrong, it’s just that it’s a wee bit one-sided.

Getting all historical, Aboriginal filmmaker Trisha Morton-Thomas bites back at Australian history. Bite-sized stories from European arrival to federation, from the expansion of Australia across the states to today, give a fresh look at the involvement of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in our country’s history. Comedy including skits and cartoons are balanced with serious moments of reflection and poignancy, creating an eclectic blend of Australian history that will engage wide audiences.

Occupation: Native is an Aboriginal Film that aims to engage all Australians in a national conversation about Australian history and what has been missing from our history books.
