NAIDOC stands for National Aboriginal and Islanders Day Observance Committee.
The National NAIDOC Committee makes decisions on national celebrations each year. It has representatives from most Australian states and territories.
NAIDOC began in the 1920s with the emergence of Aboriginal awareness groups. These groups helped build an understanding of the status and treatment of Indigenous Australians.
