Traditional Indigenous Games (TIG)
TIG is a great way to engage a diverse range of people from children to the Elders both Indigenous and non-Indigenous. This results in the audience experiencing and sharing an important aspect of our culture, whether it is children experiencing it for the first time or Elders reminiscing an element of their youth.
