Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander journalists and presenters at the ABC have come together to celebrate NAIDOC Week by sharing their personal experiences and highlighting the importance of Indigenous storytelling all-year round.
Daniel Browning, from Bundjalung Country on the far north coast of NSW and the producer and presenter of Radio National’s Awaye!, which celebrates Aboriginal arts and culture, says: “We can’t know the national story if we don’t know the first story…If we don’t understand the stories that have been sung, danced and recited here for millennia, we don’t know our story."
Across local and national radio, ABC listen is featuring conversations with young Indigenous leaders and Elders about the NAIDOC Week theme of “Heal Country!”.
Radio National programs will explore Indigenous stories, people and issues, including Earshot’s feature on the battle over the Martuwarra Fitzroy River and insights and interviews across Awaye!, Soul Search, The Book Show, The Stage Show, Blueprint for Living, Stop Everything! and The History Listen.
Celebrations of Indigenous talent across the ABC’s national music networks include ABC Classic’s premiere of Deborah Cheetham’s Woven Song, Double J’s “Deadly Beats” J Files and an extended edition of triple j’s new First Nations music show Blak Out.
