So as we know, it is nate Ok Week, which
(00:02):
is a chance for Territorians to celebrate and recognize the history,
the culture, the achievements as well of Aboriginal and Torres
Straate Islander peoples. And earlier this morning, the city of
Darwin held a flag raising ceremony and a breakfast on
Larachia Country, kicking off a week of events and celebrations.
And joining me in the studio is Anti Indigenous Business
(00:25):
Network Advocacy and Membership manager on a deadly Territorian that
I think a lot of people will know, Steve Cardoner,
good morning.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
To you, Good morning Katie, and happy Nadoc Week.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
A Happy Nadoc Week. It is a fantastic time mate.
What does Nadoc Week mean to you?
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Oh? For me, it's about us coming together, mainly our
mob coming together, putting away our differences and walking together,
sharing stories together, sharing the journey of the legacy that's
been built over the fifty years. You know, we've had
those lead in the past that have sent the foundation
(01:02):
now for us to celebrate. What Nadok is now is
the celebration of our culture, families and to the future.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
The card Owners have a very long history in the
Northern Territory. A couple of years back, I was m
seeing the Into Sports Awards and I think, was it
your uncle or your grandfather who was recognized as like
a hall of fame legend for what he had done
in sport, you know, all those years ago and crossing
those boundaries that a lot of people never thought would
(01:31):
be cross.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Absolutely, that was my grandfather, RUBN Cooper. He brought the
AFL to the territory. He was also the first anti
swimming champion. He played water polo, he played cricket. He
was an all rounder and like you said, he said
a legacy of playing the game through the racism and
(01:53):
through all that as well. He created football and brought
football to territory to day's boundaries.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
And I, you know, I love the way that sport
can do that. And I remember as I was reading out,
you know, his history and what he'd done in the
Northern Territory. Even for myself, someone who obviously had never
met him, you know, you feel such immense sort of
like you feel really proud hearing that kind of history
of a territorian.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Absolutely, and you know, we go to prat Pool and
there is photo his photos there on the wall at
prep Pool standing as the first anti swimming champion and
it's good to say to my daughter's there's your grandfather.
