This year’s theme, ‘For Our Elders’, focuses on how across every generation, First Nation Elders have played, and continue to play, an important role and hold a prominent place in First Nation communities and families. Elders are cultural knowledge holders, trailblazers, nurturers, advocates, teachers, survivors, leaders, hard workers and loved ones.

ASPL would like to extend our respects to elders’ past, present and emerging while also celebrating and recognising the history, culture, and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
