The Ngurrin Jidun Jundal Doll is a meaningful cultural doll created by Traditional Owner Yuggara artist Lakota Moon on Yagara Country in Tulmur, Ipswich. Designed with love, respect and cultural connection, this doll represents identity, ceremony, representation and the importance of young Indigenous Australian children seeing themselves, their culture and their stories reflected with pride.
Ngurrin means emu, Jidun means feather skirt, and Jundal means woman. The emu feather skirt honours the traditional use of emu feathers in cultural clothing and adornment connected to Country, while the dotted markings represent the stars above Yagara Country, symbolising ceremony, gathering and the connection between ancestors, sky and Country.
