Get involved in local community events to celebrate NAIDOC Week.
Vice-Chancellor, Professor Steve Chapman CBE, invites you to attend a special screening to mark NAIDOC Week.
This years National NAIDOC theme For Our Elders encourages us to acknowledge the important role our Elders have played and the prominent place they hold in our communities and families.
Elders are cultural knowledge holders, trailblazers, nurturers, advocates, teachers, survivors, leaders, hard workers, and loved ones. They guide generations and have been instrumental in the preservation of culture and language.
Edith Cowan University is proud to celebrate NAIDOC Week 2023. Join us for a special screening of the Bruce Lee kung fu classic Fist of Fury, dubbed in the Noongar language. This is the first feature film ever to be re-voiced in an Australian language.
This screening, in partnership with Boomerang and Spear, includes a Q&A with director Kylie Bracknell and key cast members, including Dr Roma Winmar, ECU's Elder-in-Residence.
