SNAICC is pleased to announce our theme for National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children’s Day 2021:
Proud in culture, strong in spirit
#ProudInCulture #StrongInSpirit
“When children sit, look at the sea that goes with the story, they capture all this message – it is not by accident when we teach our children about the land, about the sea, about the dance.”
– Rosemary Gundjarranbuy, Yalu Marnjgithinyaraw as part of Interplay Project, Ninti One
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children have the right to experience and be proud of their history, cultural beliefs and practices. Our Children’s Day 2021 theme highlights the importance of supporting strong family and community connections to help our children achieve strong spiritual and cultural wellbeing and to form proud cultural identities.
Children’s Day is a time to for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families to celebrate the strengths and culture of their children. It’s is an opportunity for all Australians to show their support for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, as well as learn about the crucial impact that culture, family and community play in the life of every child.
