East Arnhem Regional Council celebrated NAIDOC Week with multiple activities happening throughout the Communities. Here are a few highlights from Gapuwiyak, Milingimbi, Ramingining and Yirrkala.

Gapuwiyak marched proudly through the Community and kept the fire burning at the lake with dancing, ground oven and damper cooking. Thanks to Sikeli, from the Youth Sport and Recreation team, who cooked traditional Fijian food for everyone to enjoy. A big shout out to Sammy Marrkula for leading the dancing and sharing his knowledge. ALPA honoured the Community by providing a BBQ in our current ceremony area.

The community at Milingimbi came together to celebrate NAIDOC Week with story telling and traditional cooking.

Ramingining Aged Care and Disability team and clients, along with other members of the public come together to celebrate NAIDOC Week.

At the Yirrkala Childcare we welcomed Mirrkiyawuy Ganambarr to share traditional practices around bush medejin with the children, went on an excursion to Hindle Oval and did lots of NAIDOC inspired crafts.

Keep the Fire Burning! Blak, Loud and Proud.



Thank you to all the staff at East Arnhem Regional Council , ALPA , Bush Miyalk, CDP, Bufallo Warriors, NT Police and Centrelink.
