Munupi NAIDOC Day

A community celebration at Pirlangimpi (Garden Point), funded by a $10,000 NAIDOC grant from the National Indigenous Australians Agency, bringing people together through culture, family, food and shared community pride.

Culture, family and community pride

With a $10,000 NAIDOC grant from the National Indigenous Australians Agency (NIAA), Munupi Aboriginal Corporation delivered Munupi NAIDOC Day at Pirlangimpi: a celebration that brought the whole community together through culture, family, food, activities and shared community pride.

Munupi Art Centre artists and dancers created a strong and beautiful opening, and the day carried that spirit through traditional dance, spear-making, a damper competition, a community BBQ, cultural and nutrition stalls, and prizes judged with plenty of friendly competition.

It was delivered alongside a wide group of stakeholders, staff, Directors, members and community helpers who came together to make the day so special.
