NAIDOC Week webinar | Indigenous leadership in disaster resilience

In 2026, NAIDOC Week celebrated the theme '50 years of deadly'. The theme recognised the strengths of Indigenous communities and their sustained history of activism and advocacy. The annual NAIDOC Week webinar considered early advocacy by Indigenous groups to draw attention to the distinct impacts of disasters on communities, culture and Country, and considered recent progress to recognise and value Indigenous leadership within emergency response and longer-term recovery efforts. The annual NAIDOC Week webinar continues the partnership between AIDR and National Indigenous Disaster Resilience (NIDR) to shine a light on Indigenous leadership in disaster resilience and platform leading Indigenous organisations and initiatives.
