Indigenous Literacy Day raises awareness about the critical need for equal access to literacy resources in remote communities. For many First Nations children and families, access to culturally relevant books and educational materials can be limited. By focusing on this issue, we not only highlight the disparities that exist but also work towards creating a future where every Indigenous child has the opportunity to read, learn, and thrive in their own language and culture.
This day is also a celebration of the incredible strength of Indigenous cultures, which have been passed down through generations via oral traditions, stories, and language. These stories are the foundation of Australia’s cultural heritage, and they deserve to be celebrated, preserved, and shared widely.
