Easter is Deadly: An Indigenous perspective of Easter

What if the Easter bunny isn’t the only symbol of rebirth? Can we find an symbol more appropriate for Australia?

We all love the Easter bunny and the Easter bilby, but we were inspired to look for a symbol that resonated with our own children, and we found Jaragun the Scrub Hen. With Easter is deadly we explore the origins of Easter and provides strategies for how teachers can incorporate new symbols into our celebration that reflect our culture.
