Deadly NAIDOC Gear and Where to Find It!

It’s that time of year again, when everyone is looking around for new NAIDOC shirts, and there are so many options to choose from! Each year, NAIDOC shirts provide a beautiful opportunity for educators to visually demonstrate their commitment to NAIDOC and to celebrating our First Nations cultures.

When our children see their teachers wearing NAIDOC shirts, they are inspired with cultural pride and we often find that their designs spark much-needed conversations around NAIDOC and what it stands for. This year ‘Heal Country!’ calls for all of us to continue to seek greater protections for our lands, our waters, our sacred sites and our cultural heritage from exploitation, desecration, and destruction, and this theme has inspired some beautiful designs.

We have compiled a quick list of some of our favourite Indigenous owned businesses stocking NAIDOC gear. We will be adding to this list as we find more!
