The image is the offical 2022 National Aborigines and Islanders Day Observance Committee (NAIDOC) poster for NAIDOC Week. From the website: “National NAIDOC Week celebrations are held across Australia in the first week of July each year (Sunday to Sunday), to celebrate and recognise the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. NAIDOC Week is an opportunity for all Australians to learn about First Nations cultures and histories and participate in celebrations of the oldest, continuous living cultures on earth. You can support and get to know your local Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander communities through activities and events held across the country.”

In lieu of a theoretical outline of the concern here, I direct you to the short statement drafted for the WCC by a group of indigenous theologians: Doing Theology with Indigenous Peoples’ Sources and Resources: A Synthesis. The papers from the consultation were published in The Ecumenical Review 62, no. 4 (2010): 333-436.
