Gossamer Park was alive with celebrations on Monday and Leeton Aboriginal Lands Council chief executive officer Karen Davy was pleased with the event.   

"It was an amazing day," she said.

"It was brilliant to see people come together to celebrate Aboriginal people, history and where we are today. 

"It's important to celebrate the theme of 'We all Stand on Sacred Ground: Learn, Respect and Celebrate'.”

Aboriginal health was in the spotlight as Mark Trebley from Ambulance NSW took the opportunity to man the education truck from Wagga. 

Mr Trebley was present to inform Indigenous people about the Aboriginal cardiac arrest awareness program. 

NAIDOC week is a time of networking, working together to bridge the gap. 

Outreach worker Richard Bamblett from Griffith Aboriginal Medical Service helped raise awareness of the services available to Leeton shire on the day.  

"NAIDOC is a very good opportunity to get the message across", he said.

"It's good for community members, they can speak directly to the services.”

Stephen Smith from Intereach echoed Mr Bamblett's sentiments.

"We like to be here (at NAIDOC events) to show our presence, to work together and form partnerships," he said.

Leeton Shire Council mayor Paul Maytom also took the opportunity to build some relationships in the spirit of aiding the Aboriginal community in Leeton.
