The Australian Aboriginals have the oldest culture in the world. For over 50 000 they have lived in harmony with nature. They have a sacred connection with the land, and have many sacred places throughout Australia. A celebration of the Aboriginal Culture every year takes place during Naidoc week. The theme for NAIDOC Week in 2009 is Honouring our Elders, Nurturing our Youth. The theme encourages Aboriginal communities to acknowledge the status of their Elders as leaders and role models for Aboriginal youth. || ||
