Introduction

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies

==== NAIDOC Week celebrations are held across Australia each July to celebrate the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. NAIDOC is celebrated not only in Indigenous communities, but by Australians from all walks of life. The week is a great opportunity to participate in a range of activities and to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. ==== ==== NAIDOC originally stood for ‘National Aborigines and Islanders Day Observance Committee’. This committee was once responsible for organising national activities during NAIDOC Week and its acronym has since become the name of the week itself. ==== ==== The [|Australian Museum]has an 'Indigenous Australia' collection that provides an general outline of Indigenous Australia's history, timelines and covers issues of social justice, spirituality, cultural heritage, family and the land. The site also links to the Australian Museum's Indigenous Australia collection containing images and explanations of tools, hunting objects, toys and art. ====
