Classroom Borders Indigenous Designs Pack of 12 create eye-catching class and whole school displays that will engage student learning and interest. Use on pin and notice boards, whiteboards, windows and doors.

This pack includes two unique and colourful designs Tribal Country and Songlines to Country. Designed by Russell Yilamara Brown, who's Indigenous heritage stems from the Garawa and Mara tribes of South-East Arnhem Land and Groote Eylandt. These borders celebrate identity, ancestral country, and connection to country.

Tribal Country

This artwork is about our ancestral Country. Country sustains life and is connected to all our being, it supports us physically, emotionally, spiritually and culturally. It is where we create, sing, dance, celebrate and commemorate. Country is the rivers, the mountains, the waterholes, the plains, the beaches, the desert and the sky. First Nations peoples have cared for this Country for tens of thousands of years and we all must continue to do so to ensure it passed to our future generations. We need to acknowledge and reconcile together. Country is vital to our culture and identity; it is our Mother and where we belong.

Songlines to Country

This artwork shows journey lines, meeting places and patterns that represent the Songlines that connect us together and to Country. It is our dreaming, our Lore, our language, our stories and our knowledge. We are all spiritually and culturally connected to Country, it is intrinsic to our being and identity and important for our physical and emotional health and wellbeing. It is where we belong. It is where and how we are educated through story and song, by our Elders and ancestors.
