Nhuralama's Shop - Bungil Gililan Doll - created by Traditional Owner Yuggara Artist Lakota Moon - Tulmur - Ipswich

Bungil Gililan Doll
Bungil – Grass
Gililan – Girl
Yagara Country | Tulmur (Ipswich)

Created on the traditional lands of the Yagara People, this Gililan Doll
shares a story of identity, connection, and cultural pride.
Growing up Lakota Moon rarely saw dolls, television characters, or
toys that reflected her people, culture, or community. This doll was
created from that longing for representation, connection, and
visibility for young Indigenous children.
The bungil (grass) skirt honours culture and ceremony, while
celebrating the strength and beauty of identity through play and
storytelling.
The dotted markings on the doll represent the stars above Yagara
Country, symbolizing ceremony, gathering, and the connection
between ancestors, sky, and country.
More than a doll, this piece is a reminder to children that they
deserve to see themselves reflected in the world around them.
Lakota Moon – Created on Country with love, culture, and
connection.
