A beautiful set of 20 Aboriginal symbols cards. The easy way to increase cultural insight of children by teaching them some commonly recognised Aboriginal symbols. A6 size, printed on high quality 350gsm artboard, gloss laminate. Aboriginal symbols are well known as an integral part of Aboriginal cultural life, history and in particular, art. Today, a variety of Aboriginal symbols are well used by contemporary Aboriginal artists. Symbols play an important role in cultural transmission of information and are a special way in which Aboriginal stories are told and shared. Their use and meanings vary across the country and between Aboriginal groups. It is important to remember that context is significant; the meanings of Aboriginal symbols are not fixed and can be interpreted in different ways by different people. Broadly speaking, Aboriginal symbols can be used to express stories around hunting and tracking, animals, connection to country, and people and community. Suitable for ages 4+. Riley Callie Resources Riley Callie Resources came about from our desire to introduce young children to a fun and engaging way of learning Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) which incorporates Indigenous thinking and contexts. We firmly believe that STEM provides an ideal platform for educators to introduce children to the rich depth of knowledge and unique perspectives that Indigenous Australia has to offer. We are also passionate about providing educators with authentic Indigenous resources which make it easy to bring Indigenous perspectives into their classrooms. We want to see the rich depth of knowledge held by Indigenous Australia shared with all children and youth in Australia.
