Acknowledgement to Country Sign Blue

The Acknowledgement to Country Sign in blue is a respectful and visually engaging way to recognise and honour the Traditional Owners of the land where we live, learn, and play. This sign fosters awareness of First Nations culture and reinforces the importance of acknowledging Country and its ongoing custodianship.

Made from durable PVC material, this sign is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, making it a long-lasting addition to any classroom, early learning centre, or community space.

Created by Debbie Hoger, a Dunghutti woman with an anthropology background, this sign reflects her dedication to ensuring that Indigenous perspectives are incorporated into early education, where foundational learning begins.

• Supports cultural education by integrating Indigenous perspectives into learning environments.
