We acknowledge we are meeting on the Kaurna Yerta homeland of the Kaurna Meyunna, the Kaurna Native Title holders, being Kaurna Traditional Owners in an ongoing occupation and enjoyment of all Kowiandilla Yerta under the Aboriginal Title of these lands by right of the South Australian 1836 Letters Patent.

We respect their continuing spiritual relationship with these their ancestral lands and all their Cultural and Heritage beliefs, which remain as important today to the living Kaurna Nation of the Kaurna Warrabanna Meyunna, as they always have been.

Kaurna Meyunna spirituality recognizes the living connection between people, culture and stars, the animals and plants. The very land is still alive with the connections of Kaurna Dreaming ancestors here in Pattawilya Yerta, Pattawilyangga and putpo (north) in Kowiandilla Yerta from the gateway to the patpa (south) of the Meyu, Tjilbruke, to marrata (east) to Ngangki (women) Namatyi Yerta (Kaurna women’s heritage) of Tarntanyangga (central Adelaide city).

Nartadlu Kaurna warra, miyurna, yarta tampadlu. Warra Kaurnapira tirrkadlu! (Let’s recognise Kaurna language, people and land. Let’s learn the Kaurna language!)
