The Indigenous designed Yingir People rectangle rug is the perfect addition to brighten any learning area whilst creating a cosy, welcoming space for children. The beautiful striking design is by Bundjalung artist, Zoey Hart.

The Yingir People rug is a wonderful resource for play-based learning areas and for children to engage, connect to the stories and in turn, spark conversation.

This beautiful rug measures 2 m × 3 m with an 8 mm pile featuring a 100% superfine polyester surface and non-slip backing.

The story behind the design
"This piece is titled “Yingir People” which means Saltwater People.

Being from Bundjalung Nation we are Saltwater People. Our diet mostly came from the sea or the rivers and creeks. I’ve tried to show in this art how beautiful and blue the water is and its many different inlets that lead into other little creeks. 

The larger circle represents a swimming hole where the Jarjums (children) would play. I’ve painted this in purple to show how fun this place is. The greener sections represent the healing properties that saltwater has.

My Elders have all told me to jump in the water if I had something wrong with me and I still to this day try to get in the saltwater as much as I can."
