It's NAIDOC Week! This is a week to celebrate one of the oldest cultures in the world and recognise the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander Peoples.

Get involved in NAIDOC week by checking out the many events happening in the Canberra region on the lands of the Ngunnawal people https://bit.ly/NAIDOC22ACT

On this day, and every day, we should reflect and act on what meaningful actions that we as individuals can take to support reconciliation in Australia.

Pictured is the Ngaladjima gardens located next to UC Library.
The plants in Ngaladjima are traditional to the Ngunnawal region. The garden was created to provide a culturally safe environment for staff, students in recognition of First Nations people and a step towards reconciliation.

Each plant is accompanied by a sign detailing the plant and its uses to the Ngunnawal people.

Reconciliation Week commences today through to Friday 3rd of June.

This is a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories, cultures, and achievements, and to explore how each of us can contribute to achieving true reconciliation in Australia.

The University of Canberra acknowledges the Ngunnawal people, traditional custodians of the lands where Bruce Campus is situated.
We wish to acknowledge and respect their continuing culture and contribution they make to the life of Canberra and the region
