YERRAN INDUSTRIAL

Yerran Industrial is 100% indigenous owned business.

The image draws inspiration from the distinctive patterns of body paint worn in Kungarakan ceremonies combined with its’ namesake, the cycad, grounded in the land.

Murunda Steve Ludwig, founding director of Yerran, is a traditional owner of the lands located around the Batchelor and Finniss River areas south of Darwin including Litchfield National Park.

This is the land of the Kungarakan, or Paperbark People. Steve also acknowledges his Gurindji family through his maternal grandmother.
The ceremony and rituals of the Kungarakan are still practiced today through sharing of language, ancestral naming traditions and Tjalak (ceremony). 

Yerran takes its name from the Kungarakan word for cycad, a type of palm tree found on Kungarakan country. The Kungarakan are a strong and culturally rich people.
