This weekend we will celebrate NAIDOC week across all of our senior and junior games. This is a chance for us to recognise the culture and history of the beautiful land that we play our great sport on and to celebrate and recognise the history, culture and achievements of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples – in particular those of the Wurundjeri and Bunurong people of the Kulin nation, who are the traditional owners of the land where Tormore resides.
NAIDOC Week celebrations are held across Australia in the first week of July each year and is an opportunity for all Australians to learn about First Nations cultures and histories and participate in celebrations of the oldest, continuous living cultures on earth.
A very big thank you to Indigenous club member Chloe for her Acknowledgement of Country before each of the games; and to Samantha Dunkinson for arranging and leading each ceremony.
