The 2026 "50 Years In Motion" Collection | Indigenous Merchandise

This year’s exclusive artwork, “50 Years In Motion” by proud Dharug artist Hayley Cruickshanks, is a striking tribute to connection, culture, and continuity. At its centre, a bold circular form represents community, unity, and the lasting strength of culture. Encircling it, layered rings and flowing pathways symbolise voices moving across Country, sharing stories, knowledge, and identity from one generation to the next.

A strong sense of movement runs throughout the piece, reflecting the momentum built over 50 years of NAIDOC. It represents not just a milestone, but an ongoing journey, one that continues to grow, evolve, and extend into the future. Earthy brown tones paired with vibrant teal accents ground the artwork in land and belonging. The continuous, unbroken lines echo the enduring journey of culture, from ancestors, to present leaders, and to the generations still to come.

50 Years In Motion is a celebration of strength, resilience, and presence, thoughtfully created to honour NAIDOC 2026. Still here. Still strong. Always connected.
