Yagara jundal ngah jah nyah Yagara jarra ngumbi nyah Gilladan nurri dayba.
I am a Yagara woman living on Yagara country. My name is Lakota Moon. My Yagara name is Gilladan, which means ‘Moon’.
Growing up I rarely saw dolls, television characters, or toys that reflected Indigenous Australian culture. Longing for representation, connection, and visibility for young Indigenous children I have created a product of doll and manikin figures which reflects Indigenous culture.
Seeing positive representations of ourselves in society boosts confidence, pride for our individual self as well as pride for our cultural backgrounds which implements a sense of belonging.
