Be inspired by local Indigenous artists: Kerri-Ann Taggart, Belle Leonard and Michelle Earl!

These talented artists have collaborated with us to create resources that inspire and raise awareness of Aboriginal culture and history.

When planning activities that draw on Indigenous culture, Wisdom Activities™ encourages you to connect with Aboriginal Communities in your local area. A great first step is to contact your local Aboriginal Land Council. Working together with the appropriate cultural owners helps ensure any creative or art-making experiences are undertaken with respect and care.
