Traditional Indigenous Games The games outlined in this resource are considered primarily as a contribution towards the implementation of Indigenous Australian perspectives across the education curriculum, from Kindergarten to Year 12 (K–12). It is recommended that local elders are consulted and invited to be involved in some way prior to undertaking any unit of work or special event using the Traditional Indigenous Games. Examples of statements that might be acceptable to local elders and that can be made in association with the use of the games in this resource are: ‘We pay our respect to the traditional custodians of this land.’ ‘We acknowledge that we are on the traditional lands of the peoples and pay our respects to the traditional custodians.’ In the language of the Kamilaroi (Gamori) people of north‑western New South Wales, Yulunga means ‘playing’.
