The Aboriginal Symbols Sign is an educational resource that introduces children to traditional Aboriginal symbols, which are used to express stories of hunting, tracking, animals, connection to Country, and community life. Designed to be visually engaging, this sign encourages discussions about the significance of symbols in Aboriginal storytelling and culture.
Made from durable PVC material, this sign is suitable for both indoor and outdoor display, making it a long-lasting addition to classrooms, community spaces, and cultural learning areas.
Created by Debbie Hoger, a Dunghutti woman with an anthropology background, this sign supports her commitment to ensuring that Indigenous culture and knowledge are embedded in children’s education, particularly in the early years when foundational learning takes place.
Why this sign is beneficial for educational use:
