NAIDOC Week stamp – Ethnic Council of Shepparton and District

From today, Yorta Yorta Elder Sir Douglas Nicholls’ name will live on in tangible form with Australia Post releasing a stamp in his honour. The release marks 50 years since the knighting of Sir Doug, the first Indigenous Australian to be knighted, and coincides with NAIDOC Week.

	The Ethnic Council of Shepparton and District acknowledges the Yorta Yorta People of the land which comprises the Goulburn Valley. We pay respect to tribal Elders, past, present and emerging and we celebrate their continuing culture and acknowledge the memory of their ancestors.
	The Ethnic Council of Shepparton and District is a peak body whose mission is to promote and represent the social, cultural and economic well-being of ethnic communities in the Goulburn Valley Region through the provision of quality and innovative settlement, refugee support, community development, and information and advocacy services.
