Speaker 1: A Happy Nadoc Week. It is a fantastic time mate.

13
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 1: What does Nadoc Week mean to you?

14
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 2: Oh? For me, it's about us coming together, mainly our

15
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 2: mob coming together, putting away our differences and walking together,

16
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 2: sharing stories together, sharing the journey of the legacy that's

17
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 2: been built over the fifty years. You know, we've had

18
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 2: those lead in the past that have sent the foundation

19
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 2: now for us to celebrate. What Nadok is now is

20
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 2: the celebration of our culture, families and to the future.

21
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 1: The card Owners have a very long history in the

22
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: Northern Territory. A couple of years back, I was m

23
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: seeing the Into Sports Awards and I think, was it

24
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 1: your uncle or your grandfather who was recognized as like

25
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: a hall of fame legend for what he had done

26
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 1: in sport, you know, all those years ago and crossing

27
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,040
Speaker 1: those boundaries that a lot of people never thought would

28
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 1: be cross.

29
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 2: Absolutely, that was my grandfather, RUBN Cooper. He brought the

30
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 2: AFL to the territory. He was also the first anti

31
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 2: swimming champion. He played water polo, he played cricket. He

32
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 2: was an all rounder and like you said, he said

33
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 2: a legacy of playing the game through the racism and

34
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 2: through all that as well. He created football and brought

35
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 2: football to territory to day's boundaries.

36
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 1: And I, you know, I love the way that sport

37
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: can do that. And I remember as I was reading out,

38
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: you know, his history and what he'd done in the

39
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: Northern Territory. Even for myself, someone who obviously had never

40
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: met him, you know, you feel such immense sort of

41
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 1: like you feel really proud hearing that kind of history

42
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:18,639
Speaker 1: of a territorian.

43
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 2: Absolutely, and you know, we go to prat Pool and

44
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 2: there is photo his photos there on the wall at

45
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 2: prep Pool standing as the first anti swimming champion and

46
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 2: it's good to say to my daughter's there's your grandfather.

47
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 2: And also on the sport. Away from the sporting side,

48
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 2: him and my nana went up to arnam Land where

49
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:38,079
Speaker 2: they started the sawmill.

50
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 3: Oh wow.

51
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 2: And this was around the World War two, World War two. Yeah,

52
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 2: And what they did is employed the Aboriginal community to

53
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 2: work with them and was the first ever saw mell

54
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 2: out in Nan.

55
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:51,799
Speaker 3: How cool that opportunity.

56
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: Hey, that's so cool now that you're obviously with the

57
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: Indigenous Business Network now and it's kind of you know,

58
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: like that real sort of full circle story with that.

59
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,079
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think it's in our family just to help people, yeah,

60
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 2: and help people do better. And that's where with myself
