This tee was originally designed for January 26, however this message also applies to many other dates throughout our calendar and moments in time that lack truth-telling or justice for First Nations people.
We have seen people wear this tee on occasions such as and the Queens/Kings Birthday, anniversary of the failed First Nations Voice to Parliament Referendum.
Jan 26 is not a date to celebrate in “Australia”. It is a day of mourning, marking the beginning of the dispossession of land, violence, massacres and genocide and survival for First Nations people.
When we see non-Indigenous people wearing our designs, we feel proud that they are repping our merch and culture.
When we see Aboriginal designs in the world, it means Indigenous people are not invisible in the landscape.
But, purchasing from Aboriginal brands, businesses and wearing Indigenous designs alone is surface-level allyship. There needs to be more commitment than just buying from Aboriginal brands and businesses.
Wearing Aboriginal design is not dismantling a system that oppresses Indigenous people. Allies need to do more and learn more. Wearing our tees is a great starting point. We have equipped you with our merch and some of the educational content to go with them. We want you to go out in the world, have these important conversations and find ways to do more and support more.

Thank you for providing these free NAIDOC Week downloads. My friend and I both printed and laminated them in A3 and proudly displayed them in our front windows.
It’s a simple but meaningful way for us to show our support and solidarity during NAIDOC Week, and we hope it encourages others to take a moment to reflect on this year’s celebrations. We really appreciate you making these resources freely available.
So they say we stole this land, Briggs says the children came back, I would like to think we only borrowed it and will give it back to the DreamTime Asp but I wish we left it better than we found it.
Great hoodie - fits large, but I love that - got the small and it's has heaps of room which I love. Shipping was really quick.
My only little grip is the material felt a bit strange, especially inside which I expected to be soft and fluffy felt a bit - hard to describe - but almost like it had treated with chemicals. And no tie for the hood. But I am just nit-picking now - love it and have worn it heaps.
