50 Years of Deadly

For five decades, NAIDOC Week has celebrated the voices of our communities — steady, unapologetic, and proud. Each year, its themes have called for truth, celebrated culture, honoured resistance, and reminded the nation of who we are.

Fifty Years of Deadly marks a milestone. It’s a tribute to the people who built this movement. the Elders who stood firm, the organisers who made space, the artists who turned resistance into expression, and the communities who keep showing up, year after year.

NAIDOC has always been more than a week — it’s a platform, a protest, a celebration, and a statement of survival.

This moment is about looking back at the stories, the marches, the languages, the art, the leadership. At the strength it took to get here. It’s about recognising how far we’ve come, not by chance, but because generations of people refused to be silenced.

It’s also about the here and now, who we are today. Grounded in culture. Strong in our identity. Leading change across every field, from health and education to media, business, and the arts. We’re telling our own stories, in our own way, on our own terms.

And it’s about the future. The next 50 years. The young ones growing up proud. The return of language. The return to Country. The fight for justice continuing with new tools, new voices, and the same fire.

Fifty Years of Deadly is a marker, not just of time passed, but of the momentum still building. It’s proof of what our people build when culture leads and community comes first. NAIDOC belongs to mob. It always has.

We honour what came before by continuing the work.

This is our story. This is our celebration. This is our future.

Still deadly. Always.

It's a time for all Australians to learn about and celebrate the rich heritage of First Nations peoples. The week also serves as an opportunity to acknowledge the ongoing challenges faced by Indigenous communities and to promote reconciliation.

Let’s lace up our hiking boots, jump on our bike or start up the car and head off on a musical journey around the Australian landscape in acknowledgement of NAIDOC week, and to explore and celebrate some of the diverse range of musical goodness created by Australia’s First Nations people. Our journey will traverse the mountains, deserts, forests and coastlines of this vast land, soundtracked by a collection of songs that meander from traditional to folk, to electronic and beyond. 

Do Your Thing would like to acknowledge the Wurundjeri people, traditional owners of the land from which we broadcast, and pay our respects to their elders past and present. Just a note to any Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander listeners - this week's show contains the names and singing voices of people who have passed.

Playlist:
