The poster for NAIDOC Week 2019 was titled “Tarmunggie Woman”.
Artist Cheryl Moggs wrote this message about her work:
“Witnessing historic and horrific atrocities against our people, lands and culture. Advocating, struggling and taking up the fight for equality, justice, civil rights and social change.
From the footprints of the white eye on our traditional lands, to the breast of our mothers, grandmothers to now and the future you still stand proud, strong, influential and inspiring.
You are our mothers, elders, grandmothers, aunties, sisters and our daughters.
You hold the knowledge, stories, language, culture and our future.
Because of you, we can.
Become educated, practice our culture, language and pass knowledge to our children, become leaders and trail blazers ourselves, have a dream that is possible to achieve, fuse our culture and arts into two worlds, have a place, identity and future, embed our footprints and spirit back on country.
Have a voice in policy direction, change the state of our identity and character that are unjust, hold our heads and be proud to be First Nations.”
