NITV Radio is joined by Professor Aunty Lynette Riley, a proud Wiradjuri and Gamilaroi woman, educator and co-chair of the National NAIDOC Committee. In this special interview she reflects on the journey so far and what lies ahead. We also talk about this year’s theme ‘The Next Generation: Strength, Vision and Legacy’.

Aunty Lynette shares insight into the powerful 2025 poster artwork, 'Ancestral Lines' by artist Jeremy Worrall and what audiences can expect from the National NAIDOC Awards taking place in Boorloo (Perth).
