Members of the community were also welcome to take part in the events, even if it was just enjoying a scone and cup of tea.

Trangie Local Aboriginal Land Council chief executive officer Terrie Milgate said it was a great day.

She said the celebrations started with a welcome to country by Uncle Ralph Naden and a performance by the Aboriginal dancers from Trangie Central School, which told a story about the culture.

They were followed by a range of workshops throughout the day from weaving to learning about native plants from ICaN.

Ms Milgate said NAIDOC Week activities were held in Trangie every year for students and the community to experience some Aboriginal culture.

NAIDOC Week was supported by the Department of Aboriginal Affairs, Department of Premier and Cabinet and the Australian Rail Track Corporation.

This year the theme for NAIDOC Week is voice, treaty, truth. The week aims to celebrate and acknowledge the achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
