Theme for National Reconciliation week 2010
The theme for National Reconciliation Week 2010 is Reconciliation: Let’s see it through! National Reconciliation Week 2010 will highlight that a decade after the historic bridge walks it’s fair to say the future for reconciliation has never looked brighter. And while there’s still a way to go, respect, trust and the knowledge to turn good intentions into effective actions pave the way forward. In the words of the Prime Minister, we can now walk and work together, ‘First Australians alongside all Australians, towards a stronger and fairer Australian nation’. So on the 10th anniversary of the bridge walks (and of Reconciliation Australia itself), we’re asking all Australians to embrace the future and aspire to achieve great things together.
Posters will be available for organisations through the Reconciliation Australia website by mid-April.

NAIDOC 2010
2010 National NAIDOC theme announced
The 2010 National NAIDOC theme is 'Unsung Heroes - Closing the Gap by Leading Their Way'. Many unsung Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have made huge contributions to Australian society. 'Unsung heroes' recognises the part played by the quiet achievers in the Indigenous community, both now and in the past. These heroes lead by taking their own paths, and in doing so, helping other Indigenous people set their own direction for the future. The theme asserts Indigenous ownership of 'closing the gap'. The gaps that need to be closed include gaps between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians and gaps in knowledge and understanding.
