These cards are made for us by Debbie Hoger, a Dunghutti woman with an Anthropology background, and a Mum of two beautiful young children. She feels there is a great need to ensure that Indigenous culture is taught and learnt about all throughout a child's education, but especially in the early years, as these are the foundational years which set the scene for a child's future learning as a student. Through her business she wants to see the rich depth of knowledge held by Indigenous Australia shared with all children and youth in Australia.
