The Sea Eagle Feather represents the ancestors of Aboriginal people that fly above us making sure we are save. It symbolise the strength and resilience of the Aboriginal people that in 230 years are now making up less the 3% of there own country.

The red meeting circles illustrate the coming together of the Aboriginal and non Aboriginal people to have “Solidarity” and sign a treaty with the First Nation People.

The yellow travelling lines represents the communities coming together for Reconciliation and Equity of all.

The white men with spear symbol, and woman symbol with gulaman represents the Ancestors of the Aboriginal people.
