MOUNT MORGAN CELEBRATES NAIDOC NAIDOC was celebrated in Mount Morgan, both at the High School on 22 and 24 June and on Friday, 2 July by Mount Morgan NAIDOC.
NAIDOC stands for National Aborigines and Islanders Day Observance Committee. Its origins can be traced back to the emergence of Aboriginal
groups in the 1920’s which sought to increase awareness in the wider community of the status and treatment of Aboriginal Australians. Originally the group started off as NADOC which stood for National Aboriginal Day Observance Committee. In the 1990’s the day was extended to include Torres Strait Islanders.
NAIDOC Week celebrations are held across Australia each July to celebrate the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. NAIDOC is celebrated not only in Indigenous communities, but by Australians from all walks of life. Continued on Page 2
