NAIDOC Week, from 1鈥�8 July 2012, is an opportunity for Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians to join together to recognise the valuable contribution Indigenous people make to Australia鈥檚 national identity.
The theme for 2012 NAIDOC Week is Spirit of the Tent Embassy: 40 years on. The theme was selected to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Aboriginal Tent Embassy and acknowledge the key contributors to its long history.
This year鈥檚 theme celebrates the champions who lived to renew the spirit of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples through the establishment of the Aboriginal Tent Embassy in 1972. Forty years ago, the embassy became a powerful symbol of unity.
