A screenshot of slides from my educational lesson with an Aboriginal dot art border, detailing First Nations traditional medicines. This infographic is divided into three horizontal sections (excluding the transitional question/discussion slides). The top section is titled "Sandpaper Fig and Coastal PigFace." It describes their traditional use by the Yagara/Turrbal people for skin ailments and notes that modern science confirms their antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties. The middle section is titled "Kangaroo Apple" with the Ngarrindjeri name "Mookitch." It explains its use as a bandage for sore joints and its role in producing cortisone. It includes photos of the green fruit, purple flower, and ripe yellow fruit. The bottom section is titled "Umbrella Bush Wattle." It describes using the bark for coughs and anxiety and lists the Luritja name "watarrka" and the Kariyarra name "pakurta."

I will be weaving this knowledge into multiple subjects including:

Science, Maths, English, Aboriginal Language, essay writing, and public speaking.
