'My name is Krystal Randall, I am a proud Yaegl and Bundjalung woman, my father is a Bundjalung man and mother is a Yaegl woman. My passion is my culture and art work, teaching traditional dance, art and knowledge to our younger generation is important. My strength I chose and what describes me is Connection! I think being an Indigenous person connections is really important. Connection to Land, Culture, Community, Family, Language and most importantly YOURSELF! When you are connected with all of them things your spirit is happy."
Krystal Randal, creator of the Yarn Circles Cards

This collection of 30 laminated, full colour cards created by Yaegl woman Krystal Randall has been developed to pass on to children a sense of self and wellbeing, a connection to each other and an understanding of how Indigenous people feel their own connection to the land and their culture. Each card includes a symbol created by the author which clearly represents a feeling or emotion. The reverse side includes activities, Yarn Time ideas, Yarn further activities and professional guidance as well as the First Nations word for the feeling.
