NAIDOC Week

NAIDOC Week is an Australian observance lasting from the first Sunday in July until the following Sunday, celebrating the history, culture, and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. The observance has its roots in the 1938 Day of Mourning, which was organized by the Australian Aborigines Progressive Association, and became a week-long event in 1975. In 1984, NADOC requested that National Aborigines Day be made a national public holiday, but there is no national public holiday in NAIDOC Week. The week is observed by Indigenous Australian communities, government agencies, schools, local councils, and workplaces.learn more on wikipedia
