Made for warm days and big occasions, the Bunjil Spirit Shirt is a soft, breathable linen-cotton button-up that looks as good at a gallery opening as it does at a backyard barbecue. Wear it buttoned up and tucked in, or throw it open over a tee.
Black embroidery is scattered across the natural white fabric, and each icon carries meaning. Bunjil, the wedge-tailed eagle of the Kulin Nation, sits alongside a decolonised map of this continent, the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander flags, and our Past, Present, Future message. Woven through the artwork are the words 'Always was, always will be' and 'Wear your values', a quiet but proud statement of culture, resistance and truth.
It's a shirt that starts conversations. Wear it with pride, wear your values.

This product is Ally Friendly.
Ally friendly merch is for everyone.
When we see non-Indigenous people wearing our designs, we feel proud that they are repping our merch and culture.
When we see Aboriginal designs in the world, it means Indigenous people are not invisible in the landscape.
But, purchasing from Aboriginal brands, businesses and wearing Indigenous designs alone is surface-level allyship. There needs to be more commitment than just buying from Aboriginal brands and businesses.
Wearing Aboriginal design is not dismantling a system that oppresses Indigenous people. Allies need to do more and learn more. Wearing our tees is a great starting point. We have equipped you with our merch and some of the educational content to go with them. We want you to go out in the world, have these important conversations and find ways to do more and support more.
We aim to ship between 1-2 week days of purchase.
Our goal is for you to love what you have purchased and we are stoked to offer free returns on full priced items!
All you need to do to start a return or exchange is head to our Returns Portal.
Some exclusions apply, see our full Returns and Exchanges policy for all the deets.
No Room for Racism badge.
Well made colourful badge with a powerful message. A few positive comments and number of sneers.
Handed some out to friends and family.
Once a year I buy something from this great company and round up for a tip/donation. THIS year had this vintage rock inspired quality t shirt. It is perfect. And as an old school screen printer by trade I love how their t shirts are screen printed. It's just very cool and carries the message we should all be wearing. The added sticker and post card are always welcome & appreciated. Thank you CTG. Always great quality. ❤️🖤💛
Thank you for providing these free NAIDOC Week downloads. My friend and I both printed and laminated them in A3 and proudly displayed them in our front windows.
It’s a simple but meaningful way for us to show our support and solidarity during NAIDOC Week, and we hope it encourages others to take a moment to reflect on this year’s celebrations. We really appreciate you making these resources freely available.
So they say we stole this land, Briggs says the children came back, I would like to think we only borrowed it and will give it back to the DreamTime Asp but I wish we left it better than we found it.
