## Resource

This year marks 50 years of Naidoc Week, born from 1938’s Day of Mourning protest against colonization and injustice, now a vibrant celebration of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and achievements. Moved from January to July in the 1950s to stand apart from Australia Day, it became a full week by 1975 and officially included Torres Strait Islanders in 1991. Known affectionately as “Blak Christmas,” it’s a time for families to reunite, honor Elders, and share culture — far more than just office teas. This year’s theme, “50 Years of Deadly,” pays tribute to the activists, artists, and Elders who built the movement, while reminding us that the fight for justice, equality, and self-determination is still ongoing.
