acknowledgement
to country
We acknowledge the Kaurna people – the traditional owners of the lands and waters on which the city of Adelaide was built.
Tarndanyunga Kaurna Yerta
We have shelter, food and an income from living on Kaurna lands. We also have love, care and a sense of being a part of an extended family made by Aboriginal people and white friends because we are on Kaurna country. We are grateful. This is an expression of respect and we view any acknowledgement as a significant and symbolic marker of cultural protocol.
