PROJECT ASSESSMENT
The Australian Curriculum:
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Histories and cultures are cross-
curriculum priority in Australia. Australian curriculum is working
towards addressing those two distinct needs in Aboriginal and Torres
Strait Islander education:
 That Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children can see
themselves, their identities and their cultures reflected in the
curriculum of each of the learning areas and they can fully
participate in the curriculum and can build their self-esteem
 That the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and
cultures are the cross-curriculum priority and are designed for all
children to engage in reconciliation, respect, and recognition of
the world’s oldest continuous living cultures.

CHCDIV001_CHCDIV002_CHCECE001
Activity:
Explore what National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander week is
through the NAIDOC website, and the history of National Aboriginal
and Torres Strait Islander week.
Briefly describe the following:
 The significance of National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander
Week and its important role for Aboriginal and Torres Strait
Islander people
 How National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Week is
relevant for the wider community
Ans- NAIDOC week has their origins in Aboriginal protest and activism
when aboriginal communities were boycotted Australia day which led
to the day of the mourning. NAIDOC week celebrates the history,
achievements and culture of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander
peoples. It is basically a seven day celebration which occurs between 4
to 11 July (Prictor and et.al., 2020). This takes place all across the country
including the areas within which low Aboriginals are presented. It is
celebrated not only in the Indigenous communities but by Australians
from all parts of the life. This week provides high level of opportunity to
participate into varied range of activities and to support local
Aboriginals and Torres Strait Islander communities. This is generally
significant in a way through which they want to promote that the color
of the skin does not define any human being. This week is basically
illustrating the Aboriginal and Islander people caring for other
Aboriginal and Islander people towards the discrimination. This acts as
an opportunity to showcase their cultural values and beliefs. It is not
just a cultural event but also a protest against cultural rights or deaths
in custody or protected sacred sites.
NAIDOC week is significant for all Australians to celebrate the
Aboriginals and Torres Strait Islander history, culture as well as further
achievements. This plays a major role in order to represent languages
in order to preserve and revitalize indigenous languages all across the
country. Such languages are not just means to communicate but also
express information and knowledge about everything, geography, law,
family and human relationships, religion, health, childcare, astronomy,
etc. Each and every language is associated with a specific area and
around 250 districts having indigenous language groups which cover
the continent (Dew and et.al., 2019). They have a purpose to weave culture
through education and support universities through varied events.
Language is the major thing that brings the indigenous and non
indigenous people in collaborative manner in which they form mutual
understandings. Moreover, by connecting more and local indigenous
community and getting involved into the celebrations such as NAIDOC

CHCDIV001_CHCDIV002_CHCECE001
week they can help to celebrate the local indigenous culture and
languages. In addition to this during this specific week, the atrium
display of banners and indigenous business video content.
Focus question and activity 2

CHCDIV001_CHCDIV002_CHCECE001
Focus Question 2:
What have been the NAIDOC week themes since 1972? Name three (3)
Themes of your choice, that are on the list.
Guidance: If you are having difficulties navigating through the page-
click on RESOURCES and then click the - Previous themes and
posters
In 1972 the theme that has been set were the “Advance Australia
Where?”, in 2003 the theme was related to “Our children Our future”
and in 2017 the theme that were set was “Our languages matter”.
Activity:
Pick one of the Themes and briefly describe the importance and
relevance of it.
Ans- The theme of 2017 i.e. Our languages matter has been created
with an aim to put emphasize and celebrate the uniqueness of the
essential role that indigenous languages plays in both cultural identity,
linking people to the land, water along with the transmission of
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander history. This had been happen
with the help of song and story. In that case 250 indigenous languages
groups covered the continent initially important European contact in
the late eighteenth century (Cunneen, Russell and Schwartz, 2021). As per
today’s evaluation, it has been evaluated that only 120 languages are
still spoken and many of them are still at risk of being lost as elders
pass on.
Aboriginals and Torres Strait languages are not just for the
communication purpose but also for expressing knowledge about
everything which is related to law, geography, family, history and
human relationships, religion, etc. There are various people who
describes it as that it is currently a wave of activity with people having
various communities working over to learn more about their languages
and to make sure they will be passing on to the next generation before
it becomes too late. Nation wide, various places have the names of the
traditional Aboriginal and Torres Strait words which includes the

CHCDIV001_CHCDIV002_CHCECE001
names of the rivers, mountains, parks, etc. According to them noticing
and providing great emphasis over such words will generate greater
appreciation as well as respect for the importance of language among
all Australians. The original language of this specific nation is related to
the preservation of the priceless treasure which is related to not just
for indigenous people but it was for everyone. The artists of the
Aboriginals and Torres Strait were encouraged in order to start
working over the entries for National NAIDOC Poster competition that
reflects in 2017 theme of the poster which is related to the Our
languages matters.
The National NAIDOC committee encourages people to acknowledge
the contribution and talents of outstanding Aboriginals and Torres
Strait islander individuals by nominating them for a 2017 National
NAIDOC Awards. At that specific point of time, there were ten
categories available to covering the theme and fields of art, education,
training and sport along with leadership as well as environment. The
award winners were honored during that NAIDOC week at awards
ceremony in Cairns. This theme had been run nationally and generates
a sense of significance of Aboriginal languages that requires urgent and
overall attention of the people before even getting away from the
system. Apart from this, it had make all the people or Australians come
together to celebrate the history, achievements and culture of
Aboriginals and Torres Strait Islander people who are the oldest
continuing culture over the planet (Carey and et.al., 2021). It is basically
created and generated in order to put emphasize and celebrate the
unique as well as essential role that indigenous languages plays in both
the cultural identity as well as linking people to their water and land
along with into the transmission of Aboriginals and Torres Strait
Islander history which are related to languages spirituality and rites
through song and story.
Focus question and activity 3
Focus Question 3:
How have the posters supported the National Aboriginal and Torres

CHCDIV001_CHCDIV002_CHCECE001
strait Islander week themes?
Activity:
Select one NAIDOC poster and explore how it represents the National
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Week theme. Briefly describe
your findings.
Ans- Last year i.e. in 2021, the theme were related to Heal country had
been created in order to inherent to the identity. It helps to sustain the
lives in every manner which includes the spiritually, emotionally,
physically, socially and culturally. It is related to more than a place.
According to them with the help of languages and songs that were
presented specially during this point of time, they celebrate country
and the country also speaks to them (Gupta and et.al., 2020). The Aboriginals
and Torres Strait Islander people are highly worried about their
languages and thus require putting emphasis over the calling for the
stronger measures to protect, recognize as well as maintain all the
aspects of the culture and heritage for all Australians. They are
continuously seek to greater protections level for their land, water,
sacred sites, along with their cultural heritage from any kind of
exploitation desecration and destruction.
It is basically related to healing country which illustrates the hearing of
those pleas to provide greater management, empowerment and
involvement by indigenous people over country. Healing country
basically provides embracing Nations cultural knowledge as well as
understanding of country as part of the Australians national heritage
(Price and Rogers eds., 2019). This represents the culture and values of
Aboriginal people and Torres Strait Islanders that are respected
equally to and the cultures as well as values of all Australians. The
right to protect culture and country is fundamental. But according to
them in order to heal the country, they have to do something more for
the betterment of the country. For past various generations the elders
and communities have advocated, marched and fought for substantive
institutional, collaborative and structural forms. Healing country
basically refers to resolving various outstanding injustices which have
direct impacts over the lives of the people who are living within the
Australia. And thus, in order to Heal country, they have a lot more to do
in order to provide fair and equitable resolutions to the issues and
problems that have been faced by the Aboriginals and Torres Strait
Islander.
